Local tips
Good to know for a Medical Center assignment
Stock the kitchen on day one
H-E-B on Babcock Rd is the closest full grocery store, about 7 minutes away. A second H-E-B on Wurzbach Rd is about 8 minutes away.
After a late shift
The Walgreens store on Wurzbach Rd is listed as open 24 hours, about 3 minutes away. The pharmacy inside keeps shorter hours.
Coffee before an early start
Merit Coffee Co. is in the Medical Center, about 3 minutes away. Check its hours if your shift starts before sunrise.
Scrubs and laundry
Each home has its own washer and dryer, so laundry fits around your schedule instead of a laundromat's.
Sleeping in the daytime
Quiet hours run from 11 pm to 10 am, which helps when you work nights and sleep in the morning.
A day off
Phil Hardberger Park has trails and picnic areas, about 14 minutes away. The Shops at La Cantera are about 15 minutes away.

Are pets allowed?
Not in our current San Antonio homes. Service animals are welcome as required by law; please tell us before you arrive.

Pet policies differ by home and can change. State, city and building rules decide what each home can allow, and the listing for your stay has the final word.
What do I need before check-in?
Every guest signs our rental agreement and completes a quick online ID verification. Then you get self check-in details before you arrive.
