This place was absolutely perfect for us. Our dogs were in heaven, as they had a big PRIVATE yard to explore and neighbors (Brent and Amanda's pups) to socialize with through the fence. It was nice not to have to stress about this, and it really felt like an extension of our home. Both B&A are very friendly and accommodating, but you don't feel like they are watching over you at all. Especially given the dog situation, this was so appreciated. While we had a minor appliance malfunction, and Brent was incredibly responsive and over immediately to get it resolved.
The pictures are quite accurate, and if anything, it's even better in person. Two of us worked remotely in this space, and didn't feel crowded at all. The main space is very open and spacious, with 2 comfy sofas (one is a sleeper) and a nice sized TV setup with Roku access. Also, the bedroom is very large. The wardrobe/closet situation is beyond adequate for travelers and the bathroom was great too. (It has a door to the main area and the bedroom, which is nice. It's very well stocked with everything you need to eat in (pots/pans, utensils, coffee maker, microwave, etc.) and a grill if you want to do that too. While the newer washer and dryer are not in the unit, they are essentially in a storage closet that is attached. It's incredibly accessible, private, and FREE!
Regarding location, it worked great for us. We were 10-15 minutes max from anything we wanted to do in the city, and really close to the freeway for access to stuff requiring a little further drive. (i.e. San Antonio, Salt Lick, Jester King, etc.) Uber/Lyft rides to downtown/Rainy/East etc were around $15 when needed. The grocery store (H.E.B) and other retail locations were also very close.
The yard as mentioned was great, and also very private and secured. The gate requires a key to enter and exit, so safety was no concern.
Brent and Amanda have put a lot of thought into this place and we wouldn't hesitate to return. Thanks for everything!
