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.

Host was communicative and responsive throughout our stay. Check-in instructions were clear and concise as well as the expectations. Amenities in the house were nice, functioned well and overall the house was comfortable. Location was PERFECT. Safe, quiet neighborhood within walking distance to most everything we wanted to get to. Gated driveway for our rental vehicle was a bonus.

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.

Perfect Family Getaway Close to the City Center

We had a wonderful stay at this vacation house. The location was ideal, offering both tranquility and proximity to the city center. The house was impeccably clean and had the perfect number of rooms to comfortably accommodate our family. Being close to various amenities made our stay even more convenient.

Location was great-close to everything we wanted to do. I love that the host provided some essential groceries including eggs, fresh fruit, and a loaf of bread. That was a nice touch. Everything was clean and in order, the neighborhood was relatively quiet, and the beds were comfortable. We had a fantastic stay!

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!
