Enjoy the experience of staying in a vibrant downtown location with the convenience of a great restaurant, Sean Patrick's below! Unit 128 is on the top floor, there is not an elevator, this is a historic building. There are stairs, two flights up, as pictured. Although we have had many guests that have never had any noise issues, we would expect some urban noise, this is a vibrant downtown. We do have white noise machines, when the family stays there we also use a fan, but have been told by a guest that they can hear traffic noise at times (loud stereos, loud motors). You would think there is bar noise from below, but guests and tenants say they don't hear any bar noises. The restaurant closes at 11 PM, with a few exceptions at midnight. Speaking of, try the Saturday and Sunday Brunch! Its great!

The apartment has a large kitchen, two bedrooms with each having a private bathroom totaling two bathrooms, and washer/dryer. Bedrooms and Living Area have comfortable furnishings, quality linens with ceiling fans in each room. There is a 65' flat screen television in the Living Room. WiFi is included. All utilities included.

    Was in a great location. Be aware there is a bar downstairs, and this is a very active part of town. It was pretty noisy. The ac was being worked on and wasn't cooling properly. The shower door was broken and was difficult to open and close. I put a lower rating for check in because it took 3 hours (after check in time) to get the door access code. Besides that, the response time and friendliness of the service was great. The Maintenace man and cleaning lady were very personable and prompt. Great set up in the apt with 2 en suite bathrooms and nice size living area. Fully stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare meals.

    1. The check-in process was rough to say the least. We arrived 7:50pm and we weren't able to fet in until close to 10pm. We along with Vrbo could not get ahold of the host and we couldn't figure out the key code to get in based upon the instructions sent to us. It said last 4 digits of renters phone number, which we understood that as being us. In actuality it was the host's number. I would suggest updating the instructions to be very clear to leave little room for interpretation. I will say we heard from the host the next morning and he shared he was sick, so I give some grace there for that. I'm just happy we figured it out through trial and error.2. The biggest issue we had more than the entry issue is there was a strong unpleasant smell as soon as we walked in. It was a cross between animal pee and old grandma house. We couldn't figure out where the smell was coming from. We used the box fan in the living room to try and air out the apt. It did help but the stinch did linger the whole stay.3. Overall the apartment was clean, but the details were missed. We didn't use the fridge or freeze except to put a water jug in the fridge. I looked in the freezer and there were lots of food crumbs from previous stays. The place could use an overall refresh...linens were dingy, shower door and trim were super water stained, floors buckling in some places. 4. Location was great!!5. The walk in shower is really small. My teen had a hard time in there and she's pretty average size

    Had to wait nearly an hour for someone to come open the door because we were not given correct access code. No shampoo or ementites really at this place. Only pro is proximity to square and location, other than that I would never ever rent this place again.

    The apartment was spacious with thoughtful elements for storage and convenience. The location cannot be beat with easy access to the San Marcos square with shopping, dining, and nightlife. You can park your car and walk to all of these places as well as the San Marcos river for recreation. It’s a great place to stay!
