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.

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!

We really enjoyed staying here. The historical building had a lot of character. The property has a very convenient location to many sightseeing opportunities. We visited to view the eclipse and this place was close enough to the Hill Country for a reasonable drive. It is a college town so there are lots of eating places. There is a fun Irish Pub downstairs that was nice for a quick lunch and beer. Even though the pub is downstairs the sound really didn’t bother us. We heard some sound but the bed was comfortable and we were tired from all the sightseeing we did in the area. My usually noise-adverse husband had no comments about it! The property owner is very responsive with questions and even came to the property to show us how to use the shower faucet. The kitchen had everything we needed, although we only used it for quick breakfasts before going out for the day. The washer and dryer are top class and detergent is provided. A real plus in our opinion. There is also a nice TV. The only thing I see lacking is enough hangers in the second bedroom closet and a luggage rack. Traveling from cross country, we had large suitcases with no place to put them or enough hangers to hang our clothes. This is a minor point though. All in all, this is a great place to stay. It is a great location to see San Antonio, and Austin, as well as the Texas Hill Country.

Great location!
This apartment was perfect for our 2 night stay in San Marcos. So many close, fun and yummy places to go and eat. Sean Patrick's just below was fun and has a great beer selection! Root Cellar Cafe for dinner was fantastic as was the Blue Dahlia Cafe for brunch. Everyone was very friendly and helpful at the property!

Great Location
The property is accurately described.. The property is on the Square area so it's location is great for downtown activities... The unit is up a couple of flights of stairs. so if you are in shape beware... Inside nice open concept with two equal bedrooms and two bathrooms... We encountered a bit of a glitch checking in as VBRO did not send or provide the key box code... I contacted Brian and he was great and helped us get access.

San Marcos On The Square
Clean, roomy and comfortable. The apartment had everything we could possibly need and Brian the property manager was accommodating and pleasant. We found Matt who works at Sean Patrick's very helpful as well. The square has a variety of restaurants and boutiques within walking distance or you can opt to make dinner in the kitchen area. A parking space is provided which is really helpful in the evenings when the square is high trafficked. The location is excellent with easy access to local attraction. Sean Patrick's pub has a good selection from which to choose and we enjoyed the breakfast tacos before rushing into our busy days. It was very nice to come back to our comfortable digs and relax. If there are any drawbacks, which may or may not affect future visits, it is the street noise which lasted until the bars close and revelers have totally departed the square. There are sound machines at each beside which work well at diffusing out a lot of the sound. And, the large TV equipped with ROKU is a super nice addition but needs better speakers as the dialogue was often difficult to discern. Overall, a really great experience and a new favorite place to stay when we visit San Marcos in the future.

Comfortable
San Marcos is a charming town within driving distance to Austin. Near Lockhart which has some great bbq joints. Here for F1 racing at COTA and was only 30 mins to track. Accommodation was comfortable and clean. Located above bar and busy street so expect some noise- tolerable. Very easy to access unit. Owner very responsive and his recommendations regarding food was spot on....Root Cellar is excellent choice for breakfast.
