Kevin, You all were excellent guests! We would gladly host you again! We hope you enjoyed our wonderful city! The maintenance man must have forgot to latch the gate all the way. Thank you for closing it. And thank you for letting us know about the other observations. 🤗 Thank you for choosing The Roosevelt House!

Spotless comfort, great location

This is a great place to stay in San Antonio. Some great restaurants within a couple miles, downtown not far away. A bit chilly in February, but our host took good care of us.

The house was nice for what we needed. Not much area to lounge if that’s important. The biggest concern we had was the neighborhood. There were people walking and yelling, approaching us at night and very early in the morning.

Wonderful host and house

We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The host was absolutely amazing. She gave us great ideas of things to do with our young kids and made us feel at home. We loved the house! It’s updated nicely and is cozy. Highly recommend staying here. Centrally located so you can be to all the great tourists sites within 10-15 minute drive and some you can even walk too.

Disliked: Location
The house is lovely. It truly has early 20th century charm. The large windows, brick columns, cute walkway, iron fence, and architectural details of the home were all adorable. The hosts responded right away to any questions we had and offered great recommendations for places to visit and eat. Over-all we had a great time. The only downside was the neighborhood. It isn’t quite as deep into the King William district as we were hoping, and didn’t feel as secure as we liked.
