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.

Great neighborhood

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!

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.

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!

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!
