Thomas' place was perfect for my needs. This trip was to attend my granddaughter's birthday. After living my whole life in LA, I recently retired to San Antonio. Therefore I already knew my way around and had a definite agenda for my visit. I therefore did not need to tap into my host's knowledge and hospitality that so many others have written about. I was delighted to find some unexpected extras like a clothes hamper and chopsticks in addition to plentiful snacks and water that I have not encountered with other short term rentals. This is a wonderful value.
