About this property

Convenient to Downtown, Riverwalk, Pearl, Zoo and Museums! New Hot Tub!

Not your average short-term rental! This eclectic, upscale 100 year-old duplex is nestled in a charming and desirable historic/residential district and is REMARKABLY convenient to downtown and popular local attractions. You will enjoy both first floor AND second floor units along with the backyard which features a new hot tub, covered back deck, dining table and string lights. A chef's kitchen, high-end furnishings, gaming room and peaceful neighborhood vibe also await you at La Casa Rosada.

La Casa Rosada is quaint, colorful and eclectic duplex is perfectly situated in a much sought after location in central San Antonio. This very unique listing allows access to both floors of the duplex, perfect for larger groups or those travelling together but wanting a little more privacy. EACH FLOOR has its' own separate entry, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen, dining room and living room and can function as its' own complete residence while also being connected by an exterior stair and deck, offering great flexibility in how you choose to use the spaces.

The house is a quick trip to downtown, airport, and most of the popular visitor destinations (Pearl, Museums, Riverwalk, Arenas, Theaters, Trinity University, Zoo to name a few). Lovingly refinished original hardwood floors, original artwork and a unique color palette make this home's interior stand out.

The FIRST FLOOR welcomes you with a comfortable but quirky vintage ambiance that is reflective of the home's history. An amazingly spacious floor plan offers you everything you'll need for a memorable stay. The LIVING AREA provides plenty of seating, a TV ( ROKU setup with many option, e.g., NETFLIX, HBO Max, and Amazon PRIME channels) and plenty of games, cards and books for your use. There are 2 nicely furnished BEDROOMS each with a new queen sized mattress. The master bedroom has an en suite sitting room which is perfect for morning coffee or an infant in a pack-n-play/portable crib (both available upon request). The BATHROOM is vintage with plenty of towels, soaps, shampoos and other necessities for your use. The KITCHEN is well stocked with the basics you'd need to cook a meal and then some! It's equipped with an electric stove/oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, Keurig coffee maker (pods provided), and a selection of spices and oil. The DINING ROOM is located just off of the kitchen and seats 4. Note that there is also a small TV ROOM off of the kitchen that is furnished with a TV (ROKU), 2 gaming chairs and a new Xbox series X console with 2 controllers. This is a great space for the kids to claim as their own hang out! The LAUNDRY ROOM is furnished with a compact washer and dryer (laundry detergent provided!) and iron/ironing board. A small DECK with seating (connects to stair to second floor and back yard )is available at the back door.

The SECOND FLOOR has been remodeled and has a decidely more funky and eclectic feel! The large LIVING AREA is furnished with a large, plush sectional, string lights, a TV (with ROKU providing many option, e.g., NETFLIX, HBO Max, and Amazon PRIME channels) and plenty of games, puzzles and books. There are 2 nicely furnished bedrooms. The MASTER BEDROOM has a queen sized SLEEP NUMBER mattress and an en suite sitting room which would be perfect for an infant in a pack-n-play/portable crib (both available upon request). The GUEST BEDROOM is also furnished with a new queen mattress as well as a wrought iron bed. The BATHROOM is vintage with refinished tub, new fixtures and plenty of towels, soaps, shampoos and other necessities for your use. The KITCHEN is a first class chef's kitchen with plenty of new appliances, gas stove/oven, side-by-side refrigerator, microwave, disnwasher and Keurig coffee maker (pods included!). You will find a full selection of spices and a full array of kitchen basics and not-so-basics that you will enjoy using if you choose to cook. Some guests have even invited personal chefs into this kitchen and it has received their stamp of approval! The DINING ROOM features bar seating that connects with the kitchen as well as a comfortable dining table for 4. Note that there is also an OFFICE right off the kitchen with a desk with an Apple computer and printer for your use (WIFI is fiber optic). The LAUNDRY ROOM is furnished with new compact washer and dryer (detergent provided) and an iron/ board. A covered deck with seating that overlooks the back yard is available at the back door. The deck connects with the exterior stair that takes you to the first floor and back yard.

Lastly, the BACK YARD that serves the entire house features a large dining table, festive string lights, and a hot tub that seats 4. The CARPORT has two covered spots for your use.

Note that there is a high chair, pack-n-play and toddler gate available for your use. These are located in the closet of the second floor front door entry. A portable crib with sheets is also available but must be reserved in advance. If available it will be set up prior to your arrival.

We continue to improve the property. However, just ask if you have some particular storage needs (e.g., bikes, equipment, etc.) we may be able to accommodate storage during your stay in the shed in back (or at the garage of another property). Never hurts to ask.

Great property and location
We had a great time staying at this property recently while in town for the Jimmy Carr comedy show at the Aztec Theatre. Property was very well appointed and had off-street parking available which was very useful - albeit stressfully tight to fit a full-size truck down. So consider the size of vehicle you’re travelling in, in terms of width. Fantastic facilities available throughout - there isn’t any bottled water, or coffee/tea, etc. so be mindful of that if you’re considering a morning cup to get your day started and bring what you need. Location was great to force us “off” the river walk and see a little more. There was a great NOLA Coffee and Beignets place nearby where we had breakfast the morning we left and a BBQ-Asian Fusion place where we ate lunch upon arrival. Would recommend for anyone interested in visiting San Antonio and looking to go a different route from the usual River Walk hotels.

Relaxing stay
We rented both the upstairs and downstairs of this property and it was a great place for us to visit with friends after a day on Trinity University campus and visiting downtown. The owners took very good care to make sure things are ready for us, and they have a well prepped home for visitors. I wish all homes felt like this when we use VRBO!

About the host

Hosted by Karin Scott

Host profile image
Hello and welcome to my site. I am a professor at the University of Texas Medical School in San Antonio. I have been in the city for about 14 years now. I love architecture, flipping houses, and providing short-term rentals to visitors. I have a 17-year-old son that usually works very hard helping me (without complaint) with our two airbnb rentals. This is our plan to fund college! I am a strong proponent of short-term rentals, because I think they are a more comfortable and a better alternative to hotels. When I travel, I usually will find a short-term rental. We take pride in our houses and constantly try to upgrade them and make sure they are in tip-top condition. We would enjoy hosting you and your family and would do everything in our power to make your visit to San Antonio a memorable experience.

Why they chose this property

This is a high-end property the exudes charm, perfect for a whole family or a romantic getaway for couples traveling together. There are two separate residences each with their own entry door. There is unique artwork and colorful decorations that make this a unique and special experience. Note that this is NOT a place to book for a party.

What makes this property unique

People enjoy this quiet historic neighborhood. It is centrally located and has easy access to major highways, and couldn't be more convenient to many of San Antonio's attractions (Downtown, Alamo, The Pearl, Zoo, Witte Museum, DoSeum, Botanical Garden). It is also convenient to grocery stores and restaurants as well as high-end shopping a little farther north at la Cantera. It is a perfect location and within walking distance to many unique eateries, bars, and cool shops. Some of our guests even walk to the zoo. You can UBER/LYFT to most attractions within minutes. Downtown is about 8 minutes by car.
