Downtown Abbey

I loved it! My friends and I needed a weekend away back in our old college town, and the location was perfect! A walk away from the square and just overall a beautiful place. Will definitely be returning!

Cute space!

Very cute space! Pillows were a bit flat, but otherwise beds were comfortable. Bathroom is a clawfoot tub only (not deal breaker, just important to know). It shares walls with other units, and they have a lot of notices posted about noise, so worth noting if you're trying to have a somewhat rowdy weekend with friends.

Eclectic, Charming and Excellent Location

Fun and funky place with cute eclectic touches. The owner was communicative-I emailed him about a small issue and he was calling to come right away. I didn’t need it fixed, just wanted to give him a heads up. Location is fabulous!! It was refreshing to stay somewhere so unique. The bedding was exceptional!

Would not recommend

When we showed up the the home, there was other people’s stuff in the house, beer in the sink- it was obvious the homeowner double booked the place. Thank God we didn’t barge in on anyone else or vice versa. Def. not cool! We found ourselves trying to book a hotel room at 9pm. When we call VRBO to get our refund they seemed ok that the homeowner double booked despite my concerns that this is a huge safety concern. Definitely will not be booking through this platform ever again.

Great historic place near the Square!

A friend and I had a great stay! You can walk to close by restaurant and the Square. Great location for San Marcos. We loved the personality of the apartment in an old church. Decorated well and a great stocked kitchenette. The property manager was great too and helped us get in with the door code. This is only a one bathroom though, but the listing said two bathrooms. It worked for us, but might be more difficult if it is two couples staying in the unit. We loved this place though and would definitely stay again.
