About this property

La Casa Abuelita - Bottom Unit - Historic District and Hot Tub!

La Casa Abuelita, the first floor unit in this duplex, blends vintage charm with modern comfort. Centrally located, this 100-year-old home offers easy access to downtown and attractions. It features spacious living areas, a well-equipped kitchen, two bedrooms with queen beds, a extra gaming/TV room, a small deck, and is family friendly/no parties. It's an ideal place for exploring the city's rich culture and history while enjoying a cozy, eclectic home. Explore the heart of San Antonio from La Casa Abuelita!

La Casa Abuelita, a charming home in the heart of San Antonio, offers a gateway to the city's rich tapestry of culture, history, and entertainment. With its vibrant character and prime location in a sought-after central neighborhood, this home places you within easy reach of downtown, the airport, and iconic attractions like the Pearl, museums, Alamo, Riverwalk, arenas, theaters, Trinity University, and the Zoo.

Upon entering this first-floor residence, you're immediately welcomed by the home's unique blend of comfort and quirky vintage charm, reflective of its storied past. The living area, spacious and inviting, is equipped with a TV featuring ROKU setup, including Netflix, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime channels, alongside an assortment of games, cards, and books for leisurely entertainment.

Two beautifully furnished bedrooms each boast a quality queen-sized mattress, ensuring a restful sleep. The master bedroom features an ensuite sitting room—ideal for savoring your morning coffee or accommodating an infant with a pack-n-play/portable crib, which is available upon request.

The bathroom retains its vintage charm while offering an array of modern comforts, including towels, soaps, shampoos, and other necessities. Unlike other Airbnbs, the kitchen is well-stocked with appliances, utensils, a Keurig coffee maker (pods provided), spices, and oils, making it easy to prepare and enjoy meals in the adjoining dining room, which seats four (high chair available).

For entertainment, a small TV/Gaming room is located off the kitchen and furnished with an additional TV (ROKU), gaming chairs, and a new Xbox series X console with controllers, provides a dedicated space for gaming, TV viewing or just relaxation. A compact washer/dryer, iron, and ironing board in the laundry room add to the conveniences of home.

Lastly, the backyard features seating on the deck and large dining table, festive string lights, and a shared hot tub in the yard.

Families will appreciate the availability of a high chair, portable crib with sheets, and pack-n-play ensuring the littlest guests are well-catered for (these items must be reserved in advance).

While the property is a duplex (i.e., a structure containing two separate residences), this listing is for the first-floor residence only. Please note that guests seeking more space can inquire about renting the entire house (up to 8 adults), we have a separate listing on VRBO for these types of bookings. Note that part of the charm of this historic construction means you might hear the everyday sounds of life from the unit above given that there are original wood floors above.

With thoughtful amenities and an unbeatable location, La Casa Abuelita invites you to experience San Antonio from a home that's as rich in history as the city itself. Whether you're exploring the nearby sights or enjoying the comforts of this unique property, your stay promises to be memorable and convenient to all that the city has to offer. It is quaint, colorful and eclectic and is perfectly situated in a much sought after location in central San Antonio. The house is a quick trip to downtown, airport, and most of the popular visitor destinations (Pearl, Museums, Riverwalk, Arenas, Theaters, Trinity University, Zoo to name a few). Lovingly refinished original hardwood floors, original artwork and a unique color palette make this home's interior stand out.

Note, as mentioned above, that there is a high chair, portable crib with sheets, pack-n-play and toddler gate available for your use. These must be reserved in advance and will be set up prior to your arrival in the location you prefer.

This unit provides ONLY street parking, but you can nearly always park directly in front of the entrance.

We continue to improve the property. Ask if you have some particular storage needs (e.g., bikes, equipment, etc.) we may be able to accommodate storage during your stay in the shed in back. Never hurts to ask.

Great place in San Antonio

We had a great stay! It was perfect for visiting Trinity University and close to the zoo, Japanese Garden, Parks and downtown so we could visit all the things, and then go back to the nice quiet neighborhood surrounding Casa Abuelita.

Our 2nd Visit!

We love staying at this property. We always try to nab it when we are swinging through town to visit our daughter, who attends Trinity University. Its not always available. But this is our second time, and it's clean, conveniently located, and very comfortable. I highly recommend it, both the upstairs apartment and downstairs!

The wide, tree-lined streets enhance the area's aesthetic appeal, creating a picturesque setting that feels like stepping back in time.

Monte Vista's charm is not solely in its architecture but also in its vibrant community spirit and cultural richness. The neighborhood is home to a diverse population that values community engagement, arts, and culture, making it a welcoming place for residents and visitors alike. It offers a blend of residential tranquility with the convenience of urban living, thanks to its proximity to downtown San Antonio. This makes it an ideal spot for those who appreciate the quieter aspects of neighborhood life while still enjoying easy access to the city's amenities, such as dining, shopping, entertainment, and cultural landmarks like the San Antonio Museum of Art and the historic Pearl Brewery.

What makes this property unique

People enjoy this quiet historic neighborhood. It is centrally located and has easy access to major highways, and couldn't be more convenient to many of San Antonio's attractions (Downtown, Alamo, The Pearl, Zoo, Witte Museum, DoSeum, Botanical Garden). It is also convenient to grocery stores and restaurants as well as high-end shopping a little farther north at la Cantera. It is a perfect location and within walking distance to many unique eateries, bars, and cool shops. Some of our guests even walk to the zoo. You can UBER/LYFT to most attractions within minutes. Downtown is about 8 minutes by car.
