About the host
Hosted by VRBO Magnolia 201
Hello and welcome! I’m originally from Colombia, but Texas has been my home for over 20 years. As an engineer by trade, I’m currently transitioning into the tech world, where I’ve always been driven by entrepreneurship. I’ve been involved in several businesses, but short-term rentals have always been a passion of mine. This opportunity perfectly combines my love for real estate with my desire to serve others.
As a host, my goal is simple: I want you to feel like you’re at home while exploring the vibrant city of San Antonio. Whether you’re here for business, leisure, or anything in between, I believe that the best experiences come from feeling connected to the place you’re visiting—and that’s exactly what I aim to provide for my guests. I want your stay to be comfortable, welcoming, and memorable.
I’m a firm believer that great service is all about details, and I’m committed to making sure that your time here is everything you hoped for and more. From providing local insights to ensuring your space is just right, I’m always here to help. I want you to experience San Antonio like a local, and I hope that after your visit, you’ll leave with a piece of this city in your heart.
I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to host and connect with people from all over the world, and I can’t wait to welcome you into my home. Hopefully, we’ll see you again soon!

Why they chose this property
When I first discovered the Monte Vista Historic District, I immediately felt a connection to its rich history and timeless charm. Born from the vision of early San Antonio pioneers, Monte Vista was developed in the early 20th century and quickly became one of the city’s most prestigious neighborhoods. The architecture here tells the story of a bygone era, with beautiful homes featuring styles like Tudor Revival, Spanish Eclectic, and Craftsman, each one offering a glimpse into the past while standing strong in the present.
What I love most about this neighborhood is the sense of community it exudes. It’s a place where history meets modern life—where neighbors take pride in preserving their homes, yet the streets remain full of energy, life, and stories waiting to be shared. The tree-lined streets are perfect for a stroll, and every corner feels like part of San Antonio’s vibrant cultural fabric.
Beyond the architectural beauty, what really drew me to Monte Vista is its perfect balance of peaceful residential living and proximity to the best of San Antonio. It’s an ideal location that offers easy access to everything—whether you’re heading to the Pearl District, the River Walk, or the San Antonio Rodeo—yet the neighborhood itself remains a serene retreat from the bustle of the city.
Living in this historic district means I get to be a part of something much bigger than myself—a piece of San Antonio’s soul. The area is filled with stories, both from the past and the present, and I’m proud to offer my home to those who want to experience that. I chose this neighborhood not just for its beauty and history, but for the sense of belonging it gives me. And I hope you, too, will feel that sense of connection during your stay.

What makes this property unique
What sets my home apart is its perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Situated in the heart of the Monte Vista Historic District, this home is a true gem, reflecting the character and beauty of San Antonio’s past, while offering all the conveniences and amenities of today. It’s a place where the elegance of the early 1900s meets the ease of modern living.
When I purchased this house, I saw the potential to preserve its historic character while also upgrading its plumbing, electricity, foundation, and insulation to ensure a comfortable, convenient stay. We’ve maintained its architectural beauty while making sure the space feels cozy and functional. From the moment you step through the door, you’ll feel the warmth of the original details combined with the comfort of upgraded living spaces.
But what truly makes this property unique is the location. Not only is it nestled in one of San Antonio’s most prestigious and historic neighborhoods, but it’s also just minutes away from the Pearl District, the River Walk, and other must-see attractions like the San Antonio Rodeo. You’ll enjoy the peace and charm of a historic district while being at the heart of everything San Antonio has to offer. Whether you’re here for the Fiesta celebrations, a visit to the Alamo, or a quiet evening exploring the River Walk, you’ll have easy access to the best of the city.
What I love most about my property is that it offers a local experience. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s an invitation to feel like a true San Antonian. From the thoughtful amenities to the inviting atmosphere, it’s a home that provides both relaxation and the excitement of discovering a new city. And above all, it’s a space I’m proud to share with those who want to experience the heart and soul of San Antonio.
