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.

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!

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.

We stayed here for the Adaptive CrossFit Finals at the Henry B Gonzales convention center. The location couldn’t have been more perfect!! A nice 10 walk through the park as perfect!! The home had everything we needed including a nice stocked pantry and fresh items in the fridge as well as fresh fruit! The rooms and beds were comfortable. Convenience and space were the bonus for this location! Would stay again!

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. Highly recommend this place for a family vacation!

Great location
This was our second visit to this property, and we enjoyed our stay again. The house has everything you may need, with plenty of space. The hosts were great at communicating with us. The location is great and a close walk to the convention center and Riverwalk. The house is older, so is in need of some repairs, but that did not affect our stay at all. If we are ever in need of a place to stay in San Antonio again, we’ll book this property again!

Beautiful old home
Our group of 5 adults had a lovely stay over 10 nights. A couple of things didn’t go to plan, TV was very hit and miss, and the doors (front and back) were not closing, so security was a concern. We had to move furniture in front of doors at night when we were unable to lock them. , San Antonio is a wonderful City, and we loved the location. So close to everything. And Tommy was the most gracious host, and left the pantry and fridge full of so many items. That was very much appreciated.

We spent a few days of spring break with our daughter's family, and it was wonderful. We were able to walk to the Riverwalk, to the Tower of The America's, to downtown attractions AND to eat. Fanrastix restaurants nearby!! And the house is so roomy, comfortable, and clean. If you need to drive, Alamo street is just a block away, and Cesar Chavez is near. We would stay here again!!

Girls weekend
College girlfriends reunion. First time to San Antonio and wanted to be close to areas of interest. This home was perfect! Walking distance to the Alamo, the tower of Americas, and the Riverwalk! All the areas we wanted to see. An added plus was that the mission tour we booked, they picked us up at the house instead of us having to go to a hotel! We enjoyed the comfortable furniture in the living room, as well as sitting around the dining room table and chatting together. Nice quiet neighborhood too! The host is very responsive when reaching out to communicate or ask questions. Appreciated that very much. The house was just as stated in the listing. Only recommendation would be to fix the deadbolt on the back door for a more secure home. It did have a key lock That worked just fine. I would stay here again.

40 years of friendship
4 gals that shared a suite at the University of Tennessee many moons ago became life long friends. We make it a priority to see each at least once a year and we selected San Antonio as our destination. The location was fantastic, great beds and den was perfect. With all the rain the doors were difficult to close but other than that the house was perfect! Tommy was quick with responses easy check in and out. Didn’t know about the cats around the house but we saw zero mice! With old houses you usually have some but not here! I would recommend

The Cole Family Christmas
Most everything was as advertised. There were a couple of issues - light bulbs had to be replaced, the security alarm would not work on the STAY setting, one of the bathrooms literally was in the living room downstairs with all bedrooms upstairs, property badly in need of leaf removal from the yard. However, we had a great time and none of those things detracted from our overall stay. Historic home in a historic neighborhood with any easy walk to the Riverwalk.
