Beautiful Home in Historic Neighborhood

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.

A Week in Southtown

Overall we loved the area. Plenty to do within short walking distances for all ages, a ton of great restaurants, and in a great old neighborhood. The house is old and had great character but with any old house its constantly in need of work. There were obvious projects ongoing in and outside the house. No big deal but would've been nice to know prior to arrival (the yard was a mess, nails/screws in the driveway, outside trash cans hadn't been taken to the curb in awhile). To sum it up. We loved the house but it needs some TLC, the area is amazing, and there is no shortage of great things to do.

Location!

While the house was older and there was a lot of cosmetic work to be done on the house, the location can not be beat!!!! Plus, a driveway for parking! That's huge for the San Antonio area. 10 min walk to the Riverwalk and tons of restaurants nearby as well. Only a 6 min drive to the Historic Outdoor Market which was also fun to walk around in. Only 35 mins to the Natural Bridges Cavern, which was beautiful. He had the house stocked with food in case we needed anything, which was awesome. Overall, great stay and would stay there again. If you're looking for new and up to date furnishings, etc...this isn't for you, but again, the location was literally perfect!!! Had a great time relaxing in the formal dining area playing cards after walking all over San Antonio. The owner was responsive within minutes of texting him and he was very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Sisters Reunion

My sisters and I chose colorful San Antonio for our first reunion since Mom passed away. This lovely older home offered us a warm welcome, enhanced by its comfortable beds and its enormous dining room table. We watched digitized home movies of our childhood on the living room TV and browsed old family photos on the big table. The neighborhood was fun to explore, especially its delicious local dining scene. Location was great for walking to the heart of the River Walk and just about anywhere. One day we even walked (one way only!) to Mission Concepcion. Owner provided us with lots of helpful information in advance of our visit. We had a fabulous time and would love to return some day!

Great place to stay, convenient to everything. Easy walk to Riverwalk and Alamodome (in town for the Final Four,go Gators!). Off street parking was a plus. The Tommy-provided essentials of fruit, milk, eggs, etc. was a nicetouch. Would definitely stay there again!

Convenient, comfortable location with charm

My wife and I with 3 adult children, who were home for spring break, truly enjoyed this 4-bedroom home. It was comfortable for all of us, and in a great, safe location. We were able to walk everywhere downtown (Riverwalk, Hemisfair Park, Tower of the Americas, Majestic Theater, Tobin Center, Alamo, San Fernando Cathedral, ghost tour, also really close to South Town restaurants). San Antonio is a great city, and we feel like experts of its history now. Host was great! We will definitely come back!

Tired historic home with a great location

This Victorian home was once beautiful. It has a great location, within walking distance of many restaurants, as well as the Riverwalk. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, plenty of hot water, and off-street parking! However, the house looks tired. The interior walls need to be repaired and repainted. The stove does not work well; we couldn’t get one burner to light at all. Some of the pans were dirty before we used them and had to be washed. We didn’t find the sharp knives until the last day as they were hidden under some hot pads. There is little counter space on which to work in the kitchen.Some basic supplies were missing: garbage bags, dish detergent, shampoo, and tissues. The kitchen was dark, with three of the four lightbulbs in the overhead fixture being burned out. The light under the microwave was also burned out.The food that was bought for us was a nice touch, but we would have preferred to have provided our own food, and to have had the expected supplies and clean dishes, and light bulbs replaced.Finally, we visited San Antonio after a cold spell, and the windows and doors were drafty, allowing cold air to blow into the house.Overall, we would rate this experience a 6 on a scale of 10.

Charming house, fabulous location

This was a perfect spot for 5 adults and 1 child to stay (with plenty of room for more.) The location can’t be beat; in one morning, we walked to Hemisfair Park, River Center Mall, the Alamo, great coffee, breakfast, and lunch. Beds and living room were comfortable and there were tons of items (soaps, cooking needs, tea, etc.) provided by host. House was obviously clean; linens and towels were very fresh; floors were spotless. Yard and exterior wasn’t quite as clean, but it’s winter and just after the holidays in a busy part of downtown— so that’s understandable. The house definitely could use a bit of modernization but it was very very comfy and charming and surrounded by other neat properties in Southtown. Food, drink, and coffee options were SO walkable and delicious. Battalion was our fancy night out and did not disappoint. Grateful for our stay and great hosts!

Graduation Weekend in San Antonio

We had a wonderful weekend in San Antonio celebrating my daughter's graduation. The house was a great location for the various activities we wanted to do. There was plenty of room for everyone. We spent a lot of time in the dining room. We used the big table for meals and games. The off-street parking was nice to have. We even used the grill. The kitchen seemed a little short on silverware but other than that, it was great.
