Amazing

The property was in a gorgeous older neighborhood away from all the city noise and traffic but close enough to it that you don't have to drive forever to get somewhere. The house is gorgeous inside and out with all the things you need inside. Would definitely stay here with my family again and would most definitely recommend to friends and family! Thank you so much, we really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Location

This property could not have been more perfect for me and my son's family. (Loved having the casita!) The neighborhood was quiet, and we felt very safe. We were close to everything we wanted to visit. We all really appreciated and enjoyed the character and decor of the house; it brought back many memories.

A place of abundance!

La Casa de Abriel is all that the owner advertises, a spacious former family home filled with his mother’s folk art, every possible kitchen and hospitality tool needed, large rooms, and an EXTRA little outdoor casita for two more guests. It’s in a lovely neighborhood it is also very conveniently located. Since it was a colder time in San Antonio, their large fireplace and plenty of prepared firewood added warmth to our visit. Especially ideal for large families.

Great price, location and decor

We LOVED staying at Casa Adriel! The roomy well- appointed house is centrally located creating just a short drive to all the San Antonio hot spots, San Antonio Botanical Garden, the Zoo, Riverwalk and the Pearl. Wonderful comfy spaces for the family and everything we needed in the kitchen. The original artwork decorating the walls and the beautiful Talavera tile gave the house a fabulous San Antonio local feel. Smart lock made coming and going super easy without having to worry about key. Looking forward to our next stay!

Heartfelt Home with History and Comfort

Casa de Adriel is a true gem. The home is full of warmth, charm, and personal history—it was built in 1950 by the owner’s parents, and you can feel the love in every detail. The artwork by the owner’s mother adds such a unique and meaningful touch throughout the house.We were in town to visit our oldest daughter, who is stationed at the nearby military base, and the location was incredibly convenient. It made our trip so much easier and more special.Thank you for sharing this beautiful home—it was peaceful, comfortable, and full of heart. We’d absolutely stay again.

This is a wonderful old house conveniently located by Ft. Sam Houston and downtown San Antonio. There is a lot of space in this house and we were very comfortable. The streets in the neighborhood area are extremely uneven and that is really my only concern. If we were to ever have a reason to go back to San Antonio I would definitely stay here again.

Vacation

The resident is a nice older family home. The home is full of family jewels. There are plenty of essentials in the house. The house was clean and it slept well. The house does not have adequate window curtains/shades, and this made me and my guest very uncomfortable and unsafe. In this day and time large windows and patio doors should not be left uncovered. There were 6 ladies in the house and we felt very unsafe. For this reason, this location will not be a re-vist for me.
