"What should have been an enjoyable time with my family resulted in an exhausting evening with no rest for the next day."

1.0

Quaint, refurbished, historic building

On our first evening, additional guest right late at night and partied through the early morning hours, keeping us all awake. I complain to Booking.com and also the owner of the building and cancel my second night, but he charge me for it anyways.

"Beautiful Property and well kept Inside"

8.0

Very convenient access to Texas State University and walking distance to the square. We stayed here to move our daughter into her dorm room and it was a nice stay. We didn’t find the double bed room until check out morning because we thought it was one of the “secure privacy” rooms to another unit. We made due with the upstairs bedroom but it was kinda hot upstairs. Parking for Unit B was good to our needs. Fit two SUV’s easy. Overall we will be back to staycation here to visit our daughter. The historic building was well preserved in it’s natural beauty with creating a 3 unit housing complex.

Beautiful Place! Very comfortable and clean and the neighborhood is quiet. The history behind the church is visible and just amazing. This is our place to book from now on as our kiddos attend Texas State University.

Beautiful historical place to stay. It was spacious and quiet right next to the university for visiting parents. Check in was easy and parking right up front. Lovely vintage decor. I do plan to return and stay when visiting my son at school.

"Cute property, but listing is misleading, host phone number is disconnected, and we weren’t provided enough bwd linens."

3.0

Beautiful property and great location.

The contact phone number is disconnected and didn’t work. The listing states there is a “sofa bed”, but it’s just a very firm sofa. There were no linens provided for the sofa. When we messaged the host that the linens were not available where they said they would be, they simply never responded. We had to borrow linens from a guest in another unit.
