About this property

Beautiful Home in Historic Neighborhood 1/2 mile to Downtown and the Riverwalk

No hidden fees. No long lists of unreasonable rules.

The two-story, 2000 square-foot house is located in the historic Lavaca neighborhood just south of downtown. There are two bathrooms and four bedrooms. Three bedrooms have queen-sized beds, and the fourth has a queen bed and a twin. There is also a queen-sized pull-out sofa bed and air mattress available. Cable television is in the living room. Other amenities include DVD player and selection of movies, board games, wireless Internet, washer and dryer, and well stocked kitchen.

Perfect for families and groups. Proximity to convention center makes it ideal for groups attending business conferences.

Groups larger than 8 members must be approved by owner.

Neighborhood : This lovely home-away-from-home is located just south of downtown in the Lavaca neighborhood, the oldest residential neighborhood in San Antonio. From the front door, it is a short walk to the Alamo, the Riverwalk, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Alamodome, the South Flores HEB Market, Rivercenter Mall, the Blue Star Arts complex and many other attractions. If you want to see the best of San Antonio and don't want to deal with driving, our house is perfect for you!

It's a seven-block walk to the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center and seven blocks to the Alamo. If you'd rather not walk or if you're headed somewhere a bit farther away, it's only one block to the San Antonio transit system, including the Viva Routes, which pick up every 15 minutes, and buses that connect to all parts of the city. San Antonio Bike Share, our fabulous bike sharing service, also has several nearby stations. If you do have a vehicle, there's easy highway access and off-street parking for four cars.

For your protection and ours, I will need to speak to you on the phone before confirming a rental. Please follow up e-mail inquiries with a phone call or be sure to leave a phone number so I can call you.

This house was perfect for our family. Great location and just as described. All bedrooms are up stairs, but the living room can close up and the sleeper sofa worked perfect for us - traveling with a broken foot.

Thanks Dina. I'm glad the pullout worked for you, and I hope it was comfortable. I also hope your broken foot didn't keep you from seeing the city, but if it did, you're welcome back any time!

Thanks for taking the tie to write a review! I'm glad you guys took advantage of the kitchen. On one hand, there are so many great restaurants within walking distance of the house, and we love sending them business. On the other hand, we want people to have the option to save money and enjoy being in the house together.

The Host was friendly,the kitchen was fitted and the fridge even had fresh eggs! It was nice and close to the Riverwalk area and very comfortable. Super neat view through the trees of the Tower of the Americans from the balcony. Floors could have been a little cleaner around the corners but there were plenty of towels and other necessities. Fantastically cool old style house!

Lovely older home with lots of space and comfortably slept our group. Everything we needed in kitchen, plenty of parking space for our cars. House is older than appears in pictures and needs a little TLC, but great value and we would absolutely stay again. Owner was responsive and accommodating. Easy walk to Riverwalk.

Shannon, Thanks for the review. I'm glad the kitchen worked out for you. We try to have all the basics plus a bit, but sometimes we get suggestions for things we hadn't thought of. I hope the house looks old in the pictures . . . that's one of the biggest selling points! I know what you mean about TLC though. We try to stay on top of it, but there's always room for improvement. Let me know if you have any specific suggestions.

The host was very helpful. The house is very conveniently located. Close to downtown and close to good restaurants. The house is charming and homey and a fine specimen (more than 100 years old) with high ceilings and fine woodwork. The kitchen was well stocked with staples. We enjoyed the neighborhood feel. It was perfect for us, a group of friends attending a conference. Beds comfortable, homey all around.
