More people are looking to move to San Antonio in 2022 (especially from Austin!) and rents in San Antonio aren’t going down. From finding your perfect new home to negotiating rental prices, finding an apartment in San Antonio can be quite the experience. Taking inspiration from our sister publication SFGate in San Francisco, MySA reviews local properties showcasing the best, the worst, and everything in between right here in the Alamo City. Let’s guess the rent.
Last week’s upgraded four-bedroom home was as gorgeous as it was a little staged. This week, we’re doing things a little differently as we head to what this listing calls a “quiet cabin” near the Pearl.
This 950-square-foot “cabin” at 1806 N Hackberry Street is actually an Airbnb that this “superhost” is offering for long-term rental. The one-bedroom house is about an eight-minute walk from the Pearl and less than a five-minute drive from other downtown hotspots.
So how much will it cost you per month to rent this downtown cabin? We’ll take a look.
Probably one of the most comfortable porch setups I’ve seen in this series.
craigslistI just wanted to start with this porch, which is probably one of the coziest I’ve seen while doing this series. It really plays up the “cabin” feel.
Slightly modern and comfortable for this living room.
craigslistThe living room, the first thing you will encounter when entering the house, is modern-adjacent. At least the couch is. It really looks cozy if you are going to spend a night.
We have a TV with Disney+.
craigslistAnd it has a smart TV that the listing is keen to say comes with Disney+.
Wait. Why just Disney+?
This intimate kitchen will take care of you.
craigslistThis cozy kitchen has you covered. It’s not huge, but you can definitely cook a full meal for yourself and a few more if you visit the surrounding restaurants.
The table matches the “cabin” aesthetic.
craigslistIt looks like one of the tables my grandmother had in her kitchen. It was just as small.
The bathroom is a bit cramped but you only wash.
craigslistThe bathroom is a bathroom. Green doesn’t do him a favor, but you shower or use the toilet, so he doesn’t really need any favors. There is a washer and dryer in the bathroom.
It’s just a room for you or another person.
craigslistAnd then there’s the bedroom, which really doesn’t do anything polarizing. Everything in the house is just doing the job. That’s not a bad thing. Again, the sale is location with this one.
This yard just for two.
craigslistThe backyard is a very “a few cold beers at night” type of space.
Now on to the price. the post on Craigslist says you’ll pay $1,795 per month for this cabin. We checked it with the Airbnb listing and the long term offer seems legit and the reviews are mostly positive.
According to Zumper, a one-bedroom listing in the area ranges between $898 and $1,094 per month on average.
