What a beautiful and well equipped house. The owners were very responsive and all of our questions were answered within minutes. Even the small maintenance issue we reported was fixed the same day. We will definitely look at this property again next time we are in San Antonio and will recommend to our friends.

The property is nice and pictures of the inside are accurate and looked as listed. The outside of the house pictures does not match the house. The pictures were old and the outside looked a little creepy. The house is very spacious. There are several doors that lead to the outside. Owner was very available and helped when called.

We had a wonderful stay at the Urban Elegance Retreat. It is located near the Pearl, which was very nice and also about 20 mins from the Lackland Air Force Base. Communication with Jason was wonderful! He responds immediately and was a great host. The property is renovated and the inside is very nice and updated. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable and the rooms and bathrooms were very spacious, as was the entire home. My only suggestions would be to replace the shower head in the master bath because the water pressure was very weak and add some hooks in the bathrooms to hang towels. Also, the hand soaps in the bathrooms were not refilled, they were mostly water. Overall, great experience and we definitely enjoyed our stay!

Came to San Antonio for a simple pre-holiday family get together. The property looked amazing online and it was. 6 adults comfortably living within walking distance to everything. House was larger than I expected from the outside and beautifully appointed. Everything you need is provided and the magnifying makeup mirror alone had my wife sold on the place. Communication with the Hosts was fast and professional and what you want from a property rental. We cannot recommend the place more and plan on returning.

Property has seen on the pictures. The home was gorgeous, clean & well maintained. We stayed for our son's BMT graduation and it was very close to Lackland, close to the river walk & close to freeways as well.

Beautiful updated home in the historic area of Tobin Hill. While we had a little issue with the a/c on the first day Jason responded immediately and corrected it quickly. It was comfortable and well appointed with special touches that made us all feel very at home. A very quiet neighbor close to the Pearl!! Would definitely stay here again!

We booked Urban Elegance Retreat for our son’s AirForce Academy Graduation. The retreat was exactly as described. We wanted to stay together so my son didn’t have to choose who he visited with. 4 adults 3 teens. Very clean and extremely comfortable. We needed somewhere we could all be together but not on top of each other. It was a nice calm place to relax and visit. The separate living rooms were both outfitted with comfortable furniture and provided reasonable privacy and separation. We spent most of our time in doors as the weather was not our friend so it was imperative that it was comfortable and it did not disappoint. Thoughtful details throughout made it ascetic or comfortable. The owner was easy to reach for questions and was accommodating when he/she was able to be with requests. Most everything was addressed in a detailed welcome letter. Electronic access is the only way to go. Makes so all adults have access to come and go. That was great too.

We stayed in this house with our two teen boys for a weekend in SA. The house is beautiful and exactly as pictured. Lots of light! The layout is ideal with open living, dining, kitchen and family rooms. The neighborhood is going through some gentrification, so there are some really nice houses and others that haven’t been improved yet. The location is very close to some trendy and fun restaurants and coffee shops. Neighbors were friendly. Host was so pleasant and responsive. Very easy to work with. A great place to stay!

My adult son and I spent a delightful 5-day, 4-night stay at the Urban Elegance Retreat during our 2023 Christmas Season vacation in San Antonio. We found the Urban Elegance Retreat to be a beautifully renovated 1926-era Craftsman-style House located in the Tobin Hill neighborhood. This historically registered House is a short walk to the unique Pearl District nearby in which are located the famous Emma Hotel, as well as many restaurants and shops. It is also only a quick drive by private car or Uber ride to San Antonio’s fascinating River Walk. The Urban Elegance Retreat is impeccably clean and tastefully decorated. Each of its 3 large bedrooms boasts comfortable beds furnished with brand-new mattresses. Large closets are available for hanging clothes and storing luggage, etc. Both my son and I relished very restful nights sleeping on those comfortable beds. The living room and dining room are, also, of a spacious size and tastefully furnished. These rooms provide an ideal space where guests can gather for conversation or to share a meal they’ve prepared in the large kitchen well-appointed with brand-new appliances and cooking supplies for whatever type of meal is desired. Our favorite spot to relax after a busy day was the TV nook where we watched our favorite shows. We highly recommend the Urban Elegance Retreat to all travelers seeking comfort & convenience in a charming House close to San Antonio's many attractions.

We enjoyed our annual family gathering at Urban Elegance Retreat. The open layout with plenty of seating was an ideal arrangement for easy and comfortable interaction. A well appointed kitchen provided all the utensils, glassware and appliances we needed. Great linens and comfortable beds! Casual yet well planned interior decor. Appreciated the deck and patio in the backyard as well as front porch seating. Easy communication with host.

This house was a great location for a family trip. Super close to the zoo, Riverwalk, Pearl and only 20 mins to Sea World. The manager was very responsive and checked in to make sure we had everything we need. The house was lovely on the inside. It was very comfortable for our family!
