It's all about location! Charming bungalow-style home nestled in the heart of San Antonio (The VBRO bunglow is located in back of the bunglow style house - very quiet and private).

Conveniently located 6 minutes (1.7 miles) from the downtown & 10 minutes to airport, Pearl Complex & Riverwalk (1 mile). Trinity University, Fort Sam Houston, Brackenridge Park (343 acres), and our St. Marys Strip restaurants/nightlife. Just down the road is downtown, King William, and Henry B Gonzalez convention center.

Business travelers and convention guests are welcome!

Very pleasant property in a lovely neighbourhood.
Marilyn met us with a warm welcome and gave us useful information about what was in the area and good places to eat. There was a big pile of leaflets and menus to help you choose. The rooms were very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Marilyn had thought of all the little things to make our stay very enjoyable. It was home from home for us which meant we could come back from a day out and relax and enjoy Marilyns' wonderful accommodation.

Great find
This is a very cute and comfortable property. Marilyn was welcoming and responsive. As other people have stated, there are properties in the neighborhood that are going through renovations, but you should not be discouraged. My wife and I walked every morning and were also able to walk to the Alamo and Riverwalk, if you don’t mind a 45 minute stroll. The Pearl is a little bit closer and there are a few local establishments that are definitely worth checking out.

Nice unit for weekend visit
Nice little quaint unit to visit friends. Neighborhood was quiet. Walkable to Nola’s for brunch. There was an issue with the mini fridge not being cleaned out from previous customer but that was minor issue. All amenities were in working order.

About the host

Hosted by Marilyn Courchesne

Host profile image
I am a native San Antonian and have lived here most of my life but have lived in NYC, Boston, Colorado, Austin, and Houston, Tx. I'm a gypsy at heart but have settled in San Antonio and living in the same house I grew up in as a child. I enjoy traveling whenever I have the chance and have traveled to Thailand, Mexico, India, and Costa Rica. Presently I own my own Spa in my neighborhood and do massage and facials. Also, of course I have my Home Away business as well.

Why they chose this property

I inherited my home from my parents and happens to be the house I grew up as a child since I was 5 years old. I love my neighborhood , its restaurants, great access to downtown and highways, museums and parks. Its the type of neighborhood that people actually communicate early Sunday mornings outside over a cup of coffee and catch up with what is going on in the community and or local events. To me it has the feeling of a real neighborhood! In my spare time I enjoy walking at Brackenridge park and attending local concerts and events in my area.

What makes this property unique

My home is unique in the that no two homes on my street are alike. Homes were built in the 1920's and has the charm of a vibrant neighborhood.
