About this property

Charming Historic Home + Perfect Location (8 min to DT)

Awesome renovated historic home, furnished to a great standard. It’s the ideal retreat for an exquisite & upscale stay, located close to the absolute heart of San Antonio. We believe it’s the ultimate location to experience San Antonio the way it should be. Get ready to get inspired! Very close to some fabulous sites, with only 8 minutes drive to downtown. All in all, guaranteed enjoyment and relaxation. Settle in by zoning out in the spa like bathroom or relax in the newly updated shared backyard space.

There is a Casita in the backyard that is also listed and therefore the backyard is a share space for all guests. If you’d wish to book both listings please reach out.

Amazing property

This was an amazing property in the heart of San Antonio. It was clean and cute with an older house charm. People complaining about the location must not know downtown areas. It was a fine locations and neighbors were even friendly saying hello when we arrived. Host was great with communication. We will try to stay here again when we visit in the summer.

Sister Stay

This little house was very nice, clean, and easy to get to. It was only 10 minutes to downtown San Antonio. The furnishings in the house were very nice and comfortable. The owner was helpful. Although communicating through emails took a little longer to get some answers. My sister and I had a great stay.

Awesome House

This is an amazing house. My family had an awesome stay. Even though the ad said main house guest park in the driveway, we parked on the street on account there were other guests in the back house, but the street was quiet and almost no traffic going through. The house is super clean, and the neighborhood is real quiet. I read other reviews for this house that the neighborhood was noisy, we where there the weekend and it was real quiet. Perhaps no parties were going on during our stay, but it was real quiet. The neighbors were real friendly. We will be back for sure. I highly recommend this home for your getaway. You wont regret it. I would give it more stars if I could. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home.

Overpowering air fresheners and bad neighborhood.

My husband & I drove 6 hours to San Antonio to see our granddaughter graduate. I rented this house because it had a recliner in the living room where I could sleep since I can no longer sleep in a bed because of an injury in 2022. However we couldn’t stay here because I couldn’t breathe due to overpowering air fresheners. I have severe asthma which is chemically induced. I had been in contact with the property manager & explained my condition & specifically asked that there be no plug-ins or air fresheners of any kind because I wouldn’t be able to stay otherwise. When we got there & open the door, the smell knocked me backwards. I was not even able to go into the house. My husband tried opening the windows & unplugging all the air fresheners. There was 4 in total! The house is not that big therefore it was so saturated that even opening the windows did not help enough for me to be able to stay there. The manager did give back our money, which by the way had been charged to my credit card the month before when I placed the reservation. I gave 3⭐️ for accuracy of online property description, and overall cleanliness. I could not go in the house & see for myself so I could not rate this 1 or a 5. However, my husband said the 2 smaller beds were smaller twin size. The neighborhood was pretty bad. 1⭐️ There is no handrails connected to the stairs on the front porch. Someone lives in the backyard, which is creepy. We had to drive 6 hours back home.

We enjoyed our week long stay in this comfortable, clean and fully furnished home. The property manager, Ivan Munoz, was very helpful. There’s a wonderful Mexican restaurant, Taqueria El Ranchero, just 2 blocks away.

House was nice, but neighborhood was CD.

We had a nice day, I was fearful of running out of toilet paper. And there were a limited amount of glasses for the three of us. The coffee maker was a small one for the possibility of four adults in the house. It was difficult to talk to the owner when we couldn’t get in at first because he would only answer emails.

Pros: - Clean, well renovated space - Comfortable bed in master bedroom - Reasonably priced Cons: - Scary neighborhood, especially at night! Didn’t feel very safe - Very uncomfortable beds in second room. Kids were quite unhappy with their sleeping situation - Gross smell throughout the house. Seems to be an air freshener covering up something more noxious.Headache inducing
