Very nice apartment. Clean and close to so many attractions. I had hoped for more of a kitchenette. The mattress may need replaced soon. The patio area was not ready for guests, but otherwise a very nice stay.

Loved the place. Very clean and comfy and extremely easy to get to the River Walk, restaurants, and historic venues by foot. The owner was very responsive to my messages and flexible with our needs.

I've stayed all over the riverwalk area, but this place is among one of my places. It's perfectly split between La Villita and King William, and it's on a quiet street. I plan to stay here again.

We truly enjoyed our long weekend in San Antonio. This location was perfect for all that we wanted to see and do. Great restaurants and coffee shops nearby. We walked to The River Walk, Alamo, King William Historical District, Southtown, etc etc

Great location, easy access to the Riverwalk, and the historic market was only about a mile away. Easy walk to both.

My wife and I really enjoyed our trip to San Antonio. We were close to almost everything and had the refuge of a very nice place waiting for us when we returned from our adventures.

Fantastic location and it was like borrowing a place from a friend. Check in took no time at all and we had zero problems after that. We walked everywhere and even got to enjoy the front porch for a little while. Great stay.

We were in town for a conference. The listing was incorrect when we originally booked but the property manager was very friendly and tried to be as flexible as possible. The location was surprisingly quiet and made for a very peaceful place to come back and rest after lots of running around.

My wife and I typically look to avoid big hotels, and this was a great find for our first trip to San Antonio. It is close to Riverwalk and all that attracts visitors to the area, including the Alamo. We enjoyed staying here in an older property, sharing some history with all that makes San Antonio great.

Beautiful room at historic property that is close to everything. The property is located just 2 short blocks to the Riverwalk and a 15 minute walk to the convention center. We arrived early and the host was gracious enough to let us check in early and was quick to respond to messages or calls. I loved it and will definitely be back next year.

I stayed at this location alone during a conference at the Grand Hyatt which was about a 15 minute walk away (which I enjoyed through the nearby park). Outside the apartment was well lit which felt important because it did feel like I was just starting to get on the outskirts of the main action in the area. Cleanliness, decor, space, amenities all felt great. The bed was very comfortable. Location was excellent. I walked to the conference, to the River Walk, to downtown, to restaurants nearby and to the park with an awesome ice cream spot called Lick. It was a very fun trip! One note is the construction that is going on nearby. Another heads up, when people come in and out of the building, my locked apartment door would crash loudly, scared me the first time but then I knew what it was. First time to San Antonio. I will be back next year for the same conference and plan on staying here again!

This suite was a perfect place for us to experience San Antonio for the first time. Location was perfect. Just two short blocks to the river walk. Easy access to the freeway. 10 minutes to Fort Sam Houston we’re are son is currently. The room had all we needed and was nicely decorated. We would definitely stay here again.

Really weird that all three rooms have the same lock. This is not a secure place to stay.

The location was convenient for seeing the Alamo & Riverwalk. We arrived after 10 pm. Security and or safety was a little concerning, because the vehicle next to where we parked, had its passenger window broken out. We did not have any issues.
