Really enjoyed our stay, it was a perfect location just out of the town centre The area felt safe and the neighbours were all very friendly. We will look to book again when in San Antonio Thanks Richard, for letting us stay

The two master suites made sharing a home with my new husband and my ex-husband and his girlfriend, and our three adult children so great! We were there for the BMT training graduation of my youngest son. Home made it wonderful for everyone to share the experience together.

We enjoyed our stay. It was clean and perfect for our group. Having two masters was a bonus and very well received. It was close to downtown where we spend the most time . I would book again

There have been several improvements to the home since the pictures of the listing have been posted. It's much nicer than the pictures. We had a great stay and will stay here again.

Communication w/host was very good. They were quick to respond to questions. Check in was easy & the location was close to many San Antonio attractions. The house was clean & had plenty of room to accommodate our party of seven. We were traveling w/our 90+ year old parents, so having a downstairs bedroom/bathroom was high on the list of needs. And the additional family room upstairs gave the rest of us the space to stay up later & play games, etc., when our parents were tired. The beds/pillows were comfortable as was the entire house. We had everything we needed & won’t hesitate to stay @ Rare’s place again.

I had a 2 week stay here for work, and it was great! The place was very clean, spacious, well stocked, and comfortable. The host was very kind, responsive, and remarkably hospitable. Huge backyard, comfortable beds, and a quiet neighborhood less than 10 minutes from downtown. Would totally recommend!

We had a group of six gathered for our son’s graduation from Trinity University. The decor was adorable, the location super convenient, and the host was responsive. Good memories were made! Thanks, Rare.

Fantastic home with great amenities, close to downtown. There were plenty of spaces to sit and relax both inside and outside. Room for both cars at the back of the property. Would thoroughly recommend.

The house has been remodeled. An excellent renovation. The house is beautiful. It is very spacious with lots of extra rooms and soaces. Furniture is very tasteful and lovely. The house is very clean.The host was very responsive. Excellent communication. Quickly handled a small problem brought to attention. I was a bit surprised that the host did not approve a request for a "little bit later" check out as I requested. I would highly recommend and certainly would book again if in the area.

Mi estadía fue para pasar Navidad e hizo magia con la casa, nos instaló un árbol de Navidad y detalles que hicieron mágica nuestra estancia. La casa está impecable, vale mucho la pena llegar a esa casa cuando te hospedes en San Antonio. El anfitrión siempre estuvo disponible y con muchas ganas de apoyar y atender nuestras peticiones. Muy recomendable.
