All in all, Jim's listing worked out for us great. There were a few minor concerns that we made him aware of, but nothing that proved to be a major problem. We had planned for 11 of us to come, and ended up with only 7, but that actually worked out because it would have been a bit cramped with many more, mainly because we were a group of individuals; it would be fine with couples or families who don't mind sharing beds. Jim was there when we arrived, by chance, because we were a bit early, and despite us interrupting a meeting with renovators, he was friendly and accommodating and let us come in. We appreciated it. He was also very prompt in responding to any questions we had while we were there. Right away, we met Tom, the local neighborhood stray tomcat that it looked like not enough of the neighborhood feeds, so feed him please. He was hanging on the back porch. I think we fed him more chicken over the weekend than he ate in his entire life. He was a sweet cat and future guests better treat him good or else. The house wasn't spotless but it was adequately clean. The kitchen was large and spacious but needed a slew of extras such as cutting knives, cutting board, toaster, peeler, etc. The main bathroom off the living room was small but served our purposes. The shower was iffy just because the knobs would spin freely and it was hard to determine which way to turn for hot, cold, or to turn it off. We figured it out though. The wifi was a bit weak. The router was located in the house next door, which might be why. Once we found the range extender, it worked better, but not great. We mentioned it, and were told it was slow with many users, but we only had one or two on simultaneously. It worked well enough, but if you have a lot to do involving the internet or have a lot of guests who want access to it, it's not really adequate. The stove also acted a bit strange. One burner at a time worked great, but if you tried to cook multiple things on different burners, it didn't work well. It seemed like the gas pressure was split when that happened. Jim told us to check the back valve and the hose, which we did, but there was nothing wrong with either one. We managed but it was a bit of a hassle to make a full dinner for a large number of people. Other than those few concerns, it fit the 7 of us comfortably and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jim did mention they were still renovating, working on improving it, so I don't doubt that he will address any of those relatively minor issues as he is able. I definitely encourage people to enjoy this listing. We did very much. Thanks, Jim!

The house is good, but the neighborhood is not.

First time air bnb-er, overall pleasant experience. Jim was very friendly, and quick to respond. We had a few minor issues. The house seemed clean at a distance when you first walk in. After sitting at the coffee table and the bar table, the furniture was dusty, as if no one had been to the house in a while. The stove had low flames when you have multiple burners on at one time. We had to cook for about 10 people, so it was very time consuming for a large group of people. Kitchen was also lacking in a few essential appliances. The shower setting in both bathrooms were strange to operate. The knobs didn't have any indication if it was hot or cold and it was very hard to adjust the temperature. The cabinets seemed freshly painted, so they were sticky to handle. The refrigerator was dirty with small residue. I would assumed the shelves would have been wiped down. We also had minor bug issues, but we weren't sure if that was a normal thing for San Antonio, due to the weather? Despite issues we highly recommend this place for large groups. Size of the rooms and the house fit all of us very comfortably. Location was good because it was a quick drive to downtown. There is also a very friendly cat outside, that was very sweet. Overall, would stay at this location again.

Great location close to the Zoo, 3 museums and botanical gardens! Lots of room and many beds. Great kitchen.

We had a comfortable, convenient, 7-person stay at Jim's place. I whole-heartedly recommend his place!

Very comfortable living area for a large group of people. Driveway is a great space to fit multiple cars. The neighborhood is a little sketchy.

Great home that accommodates many people. There were plenty of beds and ample space for everyone. It's a nice home away from home. Jim is very friendly and responds quickly.

We got there and once we walked inside we felt at home. We felt welcomed. We spend the whole day in six flags and out in the area that when we got hone we had time to relax. Has so many utilities included. Everything was clean. Nothing bad. All my friends enjoyed the stay as much as i did. Will deffinetley come back to it. If it doesnt get sold. (: loved the space. The kitchen, the treats and snacks ready for us to come and nibble.

Wonderful place and location. The house was very clean and has many safety features. Marcos, the host, was very friendly and answered all our questions. The neighbors are friendly and the house is within 15 minutes drive of all the historic locations we were wishing to see. I would definitely recommend Marcos's San Antonio Modern to any wishing to visit this city!

We loved our stay at the Jackson Street bungalow. The house is even better than described and pictured. Eric and Mercedes have done an incredible job with the interior design and have paid attention to all details. The amenities, including snacks, drinks, DVDs, and toiletries, were a nice perk. The house smelled great and had very comforting lighting. Eric and Mercedes were quick communicators and easy to work with. We look forward to staying again!

Our experience with Eric and Mercedes was excellent! Since we saw the house from the outside we were surprised at how pretty it was and it didn't disappoint on the inside. The decoration is beautiful and very unique, and the house was clean and smelled great the whole time. Plenty of space as each bedroom has its own closet and very comfy beds! The location was also a plus, as it is very close from downtown. Eric and Mercedes were very good hosts as they made sure to leave it on perfect conditions before we arrived, leaving snacks and beverages for us. Eric's tips were also of big help! My parents were skeptical at the beginning about renting on Airbnb (being their first time) but in the end, due to this great choice, they would definitely try it again!

This house was so cute and exactly as the description stated! The location was convenient to in town relatives and all the functions that we needed to attend during our stay. Eric & Mercedes were very attentive hosts and always answered any questions within minutes!

The house was perfect for my family of 5! Super cute decor, plenty of room for all! Had all the little extras that we needed for our stay, it was perfect! Our host was always within a moments reach, we will stay here every Summer visit now! Great value!

We enjoyed our stay. House was so clean and nicely decorated. Was close to downtown. Uber was $6 to river walk. Eric was a great host and quick to respond to questions.

There isn't enough space to write out all the amazing things about Eric & Mercedes's place: charming decor, every convenience you could possibly want, secure, easy to check in and out, great communication, sparkling cleanliness, the list goes on and on. This experience was really the pinnacle of Airbnb. Keep up the great work, I'm dying for another excuse to visit San Antonio!

Some friends and I came up from Corpus to spend some time in SA. Eric & Mecedes's place was amazing and close to anything we wanted to do. Place was super clean and had no issue at all getting contacting them. I will for sure try and stay here again. Definitely recommend it!!

We had a good experience staying at the Jackson bungalow. The hosts were very accommodating and went out of their way to make this a good experience for us. The place is beautifully decorated and well equipped. It is conveniently located to anything you might want to do in San Antonio. The house is not in the nicest neighborhood and near a lot of commercial activity but other than that we had a great stay.

This home is really nice. It's a very good place to visit San Antonio. We thank a lot Justine and Gianfranco. Everything was ok. We recommend you this home. Cyril and his family,

This was a last minute trip to San Antonio and Justine and Gianfranco's place is just what we needed. Place is very clean, cute and easy to get to. We will definitely call on them again.

My family stayed for one night and we had a pretty good experience. The apartment was the perfect fit for us and was very close to the riverwalk and Alamo area we were hoping for. This place is very affordable and was clean. The only issue we had was roofing first thing in the morning that woke up my family. I have a 1 year old and sleep is precious so I was not to keen about waking up to banging noises and a crying baby. I contacted the host and the promptly attempted to resolve the matter. All and all other than the surprise roofing we had a pleasant stay.

Great place to stay! It was very clean, comfy, and the decor was cute. We just stayed a night in order to break up a long drive and to tour downtown San Antonio. It was about a 10 minute drive for us to the Riverwalk/Alamo area which was exactly what we wanted. This was a great value and we would stay again if we returned to the area.

The place is awesome and has everything you need to have I would recommend this place to anyone.

This place is amazing. The neighborhood is being redone so a lot of the houses on the block need work. But this house is nice. It is also the very first house of.f the main road so easy to find and get in and out of. Once you get inside the apartment, it is very inviting and comfortable. We actually used the kitchen! That was a huge plus! And it saved us some money on eating out. The bed was super comfortable. Next time we come to town we will definitely b coming back here. I highley recommend thus place. Thanks for the hospitality

It's was a really nice apartment! Totally worth it

It was a really great trip. 2 Use the full story. I went with my sister's family, was able to stay comfortably there was no problem in children. I felt the host was really spent a lot of nerves. Really clean. Convenience items are included without exception! What is more the host was really friendly.

It was totally not what I expected! She was so sweet with goodies in the kitchen, in the fridge, and a gift when I left. If I had any request she had it done instantly. Totally recommend. Thank you so much!

It was great to stay at Diane's place, we felt like home and Diane is very nice and caring. The room was really comfy ! Thank you Diane !

She's amazing. I love her dogs. She's great at conversation. A joy to be there. Very blessed!

Me and my family stayed here for ten days while visiting San Antonio and areas near. The location was excellent! We used Uber,lyft and walked the first part of the week, meaning, the location was perfect. It did not take us long to get anywhere we wanted to from there and we enjoyed the neighborhood as well. Diane and her husband are very friendly and accommodation. We had everything we needed and enjoyed our private room.

Really enjoyed our experience. Wonderful hospitality and lots of help on our first visit to San Antonio.

Diane and her husband were very welcoming. We liked the room and enjoyed the company. Instructions were easy and clear. Diane goes above and beyond for her guests. It can be a little challenging finding the time to use the shared bathroom between the host and other guests, but it worked out with a shower schedule.

Staying with Diane was wonderful. I only stayed overnight but I would've definitely stayed longer. She received me with a smile as well as her husband. She showed me around and even offered me dinner. My name was on a cute small chalkboard on the door and in the room next to some earplugs. Those earplugs saved my life haha. Her house was quiet so that wasn't a problem, I am just accustomed to sleeping with earplugs. She had towels ready for me as well as a booklet with some of the house rules and even good places to eat in SA. The room was very clean and she even had crossword puzzles. You could adjust the air conditioning to your liking and sit back and watch TV. The bathroom is shared but clean :) she even had water and snacks for me in the fridge! I had such an awesome experience. I will definitely come back to stay with her when I come back to Texas! Thank you Diane!!!

Diane's place is clear, nicely decorated and she is one of the best communicators we've ever experienced. The lockbox worked great and access to her home was seamless. We LOVED San Antonia and after a long day's drive we enjoyed taking an Uber to dinner, a stroll and a boat cruise along The Riverwalk. Not to be missed!

Shonda is incredible!!! She was so helpful and accommodating with our out of town guests. The house is beautiful, reminds me of Anthropologie. Love everything about it.

We loved staying in Shonda's place in San Antonio. The house is beautiful, everything was meticulously clean, and Shonda was so kind and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again!

Shonda was very accommodating and very quick to respond to my questions. 7 of us band directors stayed to attend the UIL State Marching Contest at the Alamodome. Close to the stadium and near any great restaurants you may want to try!

Shonda was great, so accommodating! The house is beautiful. We had everything we needed and plenty of room. Next time I'm in San Antonio, I know where I'm staying!

Shonda is WONDERFUL!! She was so patient with us, even though we arrived late. She showed us around the house, and before she left, she gave helpful recommendations about good places to eat. Their place is super nice, clean, roomy, & had everything we needed for our stay. We LOVED the open floor plan, and the lovely vintage details of the entire home. Conveniently located to the Riverwalk (VERY CLOSE) and the highway for quick access to restaurants and attractions. We will gladly rent it again and will tell our friends about it. Shonda and Jorge's place is perfect for anyone visiting San Antonio. Thanks so much Shonda!!

I had a great stay here! I was in a group of 6, it was the perfect amount of space and was clean. Shonda was accommodating and available if we needed help with anything. I would recommend this house to future guests. Also, the neighborhood was quiet.

House is nice, shonda is nice, house is close to downtown which was good. Neighborhood is sketchy-scary. Train is EXTREMELY EXTREMELY LOUD. however everything she could control was very good.

Shonda made our stay so enjoyable! She was extremely accommodating and willing to answer any questions as well as, provide suggestions for our visit in San Antonio. The house was exactly what we needed and hoped for! I will gladly contact Shonda the next time I need a place to stay when visiting San Antonio again!

My first experience with airbnb was good the host was very accommodating. I stayed there for 12 days doing a convention at the center nearby everything was great the house was exactly as described. only advice I would say would be to fix the Internet connection was very slow and in and out sometime. Ultimately if I was ever in the San Antonio area again I would definitely come back to Danny's and Mandy's.

The listing was exactly as described! Very clean and comfortable. Spacious, would definitely return. Nice, quit street - we love that the key was left in lockbox for our convenience.

Nice renovation. Good size for two. $5 uber ride to the Alamo.

Great

Great location for accessing conference center, apt is really nice. The surrounding neighborhood is what my local friend described as "sketchy" - I never had any issues though location is certainly on the more depressed (but gentrifying) side of downtown.

The neighborhood was fine - we quite liked being in an up and coming part of the city and found a terrific restaurant within walking distance. The place was quite nice - it was very roomy and a lot of nice work had been done on the inside. (It is clear from the outside that it is a place in the process of being renovated which was perfectly fine.) But there were problems with the wifi, the TV and the coffee-makers. I'd say if these things are corrected, it would be a perfectly fine experience. But as it stood, we kept waiting for something else "not to work." But we felt safe and comfortable there.

This was just what we needed! My cousin and I just had to find a place to stay overnight as we were traveling. The apartment was clean, spacious, and very cute. Had no problems getting in and out and it was very close to downtown.

This is a great place to stay! It was so comfortable inside and was a great home base for our visit to San Antonio. It was great knowing there was a kitchen so we could cook if we wanted instead of going out to eat for every meal. It is a very short walk to the Riverwalk, museums and restaurants. We parked the car when we arrived and walked everywhere for the rest of the weekend. Its important to note the road on which the house is located looks a little sketchy when you first turn in but the house is beautiful and we did not feel unsafe at any time walking around, even when walking back from downtown at night. We definitely recommend this and would stay here again!

Lovely place, will definitely choose to stay here again!

This spot was perfect for our stay in San Antonio. A quick Lyft ride away from some of the best sites for tourists like us, and a super comfortable and spacious home with a nice outdoor area for happy hour or breakfast on the patio! Misha was a great host and even came by and helped us out when we had some Roku troubles on Oscars night! Would definitely recommend this Airbnb to anyone wanting a comfortable and spacious spot in a quiet San Antonio neighborhood.

n

Very comfortable and cute place to stay. It was in walking distance to river walk but wouldn't recommend walking at night instead use an Uber.

There is a nice swing outside the house.

Nice place and awesome location!

The house lives up to the advert in Airbnb. The furnishings are very comfortable and very modern, clean and tidy and beautifully furnished. Everything you could possibly need is supplied and there was nothing else we needed. Everywhere is clean and very well maintained. The house is in an easily located area and close to centre, either driving or taxi ride. I have no hesitation in recommending this house for couples, or a family, or even a bunch of friends looking to explore San Antonio.

Misha's place was very accommodating for my needs while in San Antonio…It's a great place to stay for any kind of events in the downtown and surrounding areas…The neighborhood is old but is up-and-coming like most inner city metropolitan cities…checking in and checking out was very easy as well. The neighborhood was pretty quiet for the most part. I would highly recommend staying here. The location is perfect because it's located in the downtown area near the hwy providing easy access to the city and surrounding areas… I noticed I was always going against traffic.

Loved it thank you for everything

This Airbnb was one of my favorites. It was a beautiful space with plenty of room for both my mother and myself. The separate bed nooks were perfect for creating a sense of privacy within the shared space. As our stay was nearly two weeks, the kitchen was essential for us and worked splendidly. The third floor makes you feel like you are staying in a treehouse that has little views of downtown San Antonio. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to have a very comfortable stay in the heart of SA. P.s. The beds are more comfortable than my own.

Robert's place was absolutely amazing! The beds (including the sofa bed) were so comfortable and the entire place was spacious. The kitchen was very well equipped including pans which was great. I can't comment on public transportation but it was only about a $6 Uber drive to the convention center/downtown area/The Alamo. The only downside was that we had 5 Uber drivers tell us not to walk around the area at night because it was not safe. This might have been because we were 3 early 20's women. Even though they said this, we didn't feel unsafe though we also did not walk around the area and chose to have an Uber pick us up. Overall, it was an amazing place and had everything we expected and wanted and was very affordable!

This is a wonderful place to stay. The park across the street is great. Easy to get around will be back for sure.

We had an overall wonderful stay at Robert's flat. The listing was spot on, and had everything we expected. The only hitch was one afternoon when there was a last-minute phone company appointment. It would seem that was probably scheduled in advance, and we could have used more notice than finding out late the morning of the appointment as we had to find another location for a teleconference my fiancé had scheduled. Things people staying here should additionally know (which weren't a big deal for us but I would want to generally know about a place before I stayed at it) beyond what is in the listing: 1) You are asked not to open the windows 2) There are air fresheners used in the unit, which were not unpleasant to us, but if you are sensitive to scent, you should know they are here.

The host was great. Neighborhood is nice. No convenient store was a negative for us. Stairway to attic did not fell lighted enough and lake of hand rail support. Very hard at night and with luggage.

Great location, great place....Cats!

While we didn't have any direct contact while we were there, Robert had provided us with the information ahead of time and thankfully, we had zero problems. The entire apartment was wonderful, I felt safe outside the home at night and the few times we used Uber, the drivers had no problem finding us. I'm an animal lover so I didn't mind the TONS of cats on the property and in the neighborhood. Loved the trip and will definitely come back to Robert's home in the future. I highly recommend him!

Great place, would stay again.

Great and very centric place! We really enjoy our stay there!

This half double was perfect for my stay with nice amenities, comfortable bed and couch and nice sized TV with cable and wifi. There was little more I would ask for. It was a $5 Lyft ride downtown. Is highly recommend it.

Thanks!

Quiet area. Place is nice. Didnt meet Kip and Rachelle, but overall... good value. It would be nice if any of the bedroom doors can be closed....

Kip was very nice, although I never met him, but I was ok with that, everyone was busy and he left the key exactly where it was. The neighborhood was a little run down and the front yard is completely photoshopped and misleading. The front yard is basically the porch and four feet of grass. The main restroom had a bad leak in the a/c from the ceiling and a bowl was placed on the bathroom counter to catch the leak, so the bathroom was soaking wet on the counters and part of the floor & we had to keep emptying the bowl. The backyard had no lighting, except a security light in the corner, so it was pitch black, except for 2 tiki torches with no fuel. Lots of fixtures in the bathroom didn't work or were still being installed. For my family reunion, the dining room had a tiny table with three chairs. There was no outdoor furniture OR light to at least put some people back there. We couldn't get the cable tv to work so didn't use it. There was only one tv in the whole house, and a small one. No tvs in the bedrooms. The a/c was not cold enough. In all fairness, we didn't contact the host because we only stayed one night and we had so little time, we didn't want to be bothered with a repairman. If we were staying longer, I would have informed him. Good points: The open floor plan and lighting were very nice. Kitchen was very roomy and had an awesome fridge, very updated. Hearing the bugle from Fort Sam Houston at dawn was a hoot, totally cool for some reason.

We had a good stay overall! The place was neat and mostly clean. Dishes in dishwasher were dirty and there was no dishsoap but we had what we needed. Neighborhood was quiet and close to freeways, grocery stores and restaurants. Hosts responded to messages quickly and everything was comfortable.

It was a nice accommodation for the night. Not too far from downtown San Antonio.

The neighborhood is located really close to a lot of attractions like Brackenridge Park and the zoo. The house is very cute and clean! My only complaint is the mattresses are very uncomfortable. Thanks so much for opening your home to us!

This was a nice clean and cozy home, we really enjoyed it. It was so roomy and comfortable.

The house is a haven and Kip is a great host. It made our weekend in SA so relaxing. The fact that the house is on the market requires some flexibility and work to coordinate things, but if you are willing to do that, this is a fantastic option.

Lovely House and great Hosts!! There is nothing negative to mention, would recommend to everyone!!

A wonderful updated house very near the centre of San Antonio. My daughter liked it so much she even wanted to stay and live in the place. Good for cruising around by bike or take a run through the Hemisfair Park. Minor detail: internet seems slow.

I came to San Antonio to attend a conference. Giovanni & Kimberlee’s are great in providing information on check-in and check-out before we arrived. The house is close to downtown and there are a lot of restaurants around. This is a very cozy house which makes me feel like home. It is very clean, and it has everything that you need in a home, including washer/dryer with laundry detergent, a fully equipped kitchen in which you can basically cook a fancy meal. I found everything that I needed in the house. I would definitely come back and stay in this house if I need to come to San Antonio again! Nice hosts, good location, and the house is a very clean and comfortable.

The house is very nice, very clean. Everything was perfect and according to the announcement. Thank you very much.

We had a great time at Blue Bonnet. It was exactly what we were looking for, peaceful and well equipped in a nice area of town away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy river walk ( while only being a short walk away). The house is finished to a very high standard- we would stay again if returning to SA. Also we would HIGHLY recommend Bliss restaurant which is located at the end of the street!

Nice place for value, 20 minute walk to the river walk. Clean, ac worked great, nice to have the kitchen, French press and all, for a four night stay. Came in for airman graduation from 4 different places, fun to be downtown. Less than 20 minutes to lackland, 15 to airport and plenty of WiFi for our airman to catch up on things while relaxing in this cute house. We did notice a grill out back but did not use it. Plenty of communication from the host. Very responsive. Driveway parking was a big plus. Beds are firm which I like, sleeper couch was comfortable for my middle age self. Glad we skipped the generic hotel for privacy of 2 bedrooms and space to eat and lounge.

This place was all-around great! The house was in great condition and very comfortable to stay in. The location to different tourist destinations was ideal and was within walking distance to many great restaurants and nightlife spots. Kimberlee was great at communicating and making sure we had everything we needed for the trip. Would totally recommend this place to anyone.

The Blue Bonnet House was a lovely, authentic home in a quiet neighborhood of San Antonio. The beds were comfortable and everything was immaculate. It was walkable to Riverwalk and local restaurants. I would recommend staying here.

Close to everything and very easy! Great place for the price!

Sylvia's casita was easy to get to. Clean, quiet and a solid stay. Heaters and blankets were appreciated. Well worth the value we paid for. Cozy for 2 possibly 3 if you want the air mattress. Would stay again if we dropped in town in future. Thank you so much Sylvia.

Sylvia has decorated her casita nicely! Soft water & rainwater style showerhead; really great. Quiet neighborhood is a big plus!

Great place for a great value!

Great host! She definitely helped me out!

The space was neat, clean, and came with everything we needed and more! Sylvia was always a text away and the location was a perfect ways away from attractions and malls. This was the best situation I could have hoped for, I recommend this location to anyone and everyone!

Great little house and very quiet neighborhood.

It's a very clean and we'll appointed home.

Aaron is awesome! The home is very clean and spacious. Beds are comfortable and rooms have plenty of space. Would definitely stay there again.

We as family had a magnificent experience staying at Aaron & Sarah's place, we felt like home; they are amazing hosts and I will recommend their home to anyone that wants to have a lovely time to cherish and remember. Thank you both for everything! God bless you.

Great place for a weekend getaway

Great value for proximity to downtown and other fun activities. Aaron was very communicative and his home was great for our stay!

Love it

Communication was very good from host, and the place is spacious. The only small issue was regarding electric outlets in the kitchen. Besides that, a good stay

I really appreciated the convenience of the 'automated' check-in and check-out, as I had to book Art's place at the last minute. Art was very kind when I spoke with him and I would stay again if in the area.

Art was a pretty excellent host - my room was clean and I was provided with bathroom necessities (I brought my own, but it was thoughtful). The house rules are basic, but are for the comfort of everyone staying. I felt like I was in a comfortable dorm room or hostel instead of a hotel, which was quite nice. My trip was marred a bit by a trip to the emergency room the night I arrived, but Art was cool with me staying in my room the rest of my time in SA to recuperate. I will be returning to San Antonio for a proper vacation in a few month's time, and if he's available I would definitely stay at Art's place again!

On target with posting. Comfortable stay

Location was not far from the airport, about 15 minutes or so. Area was safe and accommodations were on par with the price. I felt totally comfortable there and Art was amazing. Check-in and Check-out couldn't get any easier. I would highly recommend Art's place and definitely would stay again.

Everything was great! Easy to find and nice clean room.

The house is very conveniently located, close to downtown San Antonio and in a nice, clean, quiet neighborhood. The house was immaculately clean and everything is automated and well set-up. Room and restroom were very clean. Art even made special arrangements for early check-in without any extra charges. I loved my stay here. Would surely come back and stay here next time.

Art has a little gem of a place! For me it was perfect. Easy access to the San Antonio convention scene. (3 exits South). Older neighborhood, but safe. HEB; Chick-fil-a; Whataburger... an easy 2 min drive. Good Wifi. I was traveling without my (URL HIDDEN) I didn't need the overpriced hotel frills... just a comfortable spot to rest and sleep!! Thanks Art! See you next time!

Great, quiet little spot in a nice part of town. When I come back I'll definitely be looking to stay here again!!! Easily accessible by public transport so you've nothing to worry about on all fronts
