Place was in a great central location to access major events or places in San Antonio however it was in a sketchy neighborhood but overall clean and decent! Couldn’t get porch light to turn so it was dark ! Front and side yard needed major yard attention! Also it was a bit hot inside Living room a/c dripped water from unit and took a while to cool house down Lastly anything food related that was outside of fridge was invested by sugar ants immediately!!
We enjoyed our stay. The house was very roomy and the kitchen well equipped. The house has mini split units for AC, and the living room one was leaking a little bit, but worked quite well in the most extreme heat. The shower drain was clogged and water stood in the tub while showering which didn't feel super clean and I guess Texas has a problem with those tiny sugar ants because we had to keep everything in the fridge. They got into anything that wasn't in the fridge, including the trash can and dog food which was annoying to say the least.Overall though, we would totally stay here again.If your back cannot handle a soft mattress though, this is not the place for you.
This older home has been updated but retained its old-world charm. The neighborhood was a bit sketchy but we weren't out at night. There is a very busy street right beside the house All in all it was pleasant get away for two grandmothers raising their grandchildren.

When I got to the location it looked abandoned. The grass/shrubs was as tall as me. The inside had cobwebs. Dirt on all surfaces and the laundry machine had a weird smell. My GF and I had to clean the entire house.
The property on the inside was amazing. We were scared at the sight of the neighborhood, at first, but then, we noticed that most of the city looked this way. Its run down and lots of homeless people. But, we had zero problems, we loved the place, and the host asked us right away if we needed anything.
Everything worked, there was lots of room, and we LOVED the historic feel of the building, and photos of "old San Antonio".
The only suggestion i would make and its not a negative, i would have loved to hear more abouf the history of the place as it used to be a library. For example, maybe hang some pics of what it looked like as a library, or a timeline of past to present.
Overall, i would def recommend staying here!
Overall, the stay was good. The neighborhood was ok, but was definitely glad it had designated parking off the street. It was less than 10 min to downtown San Antonio and the Riverwalk.
The house was clean but older. It does have a slightly musty smell (think leaving clothes in washer too long). We basically only slept there, did not use the kitchen or tv’s. Beds were comfy and it was nice we each had our own bed. It’s hard to find affordable 3 beds. I would recommend to management mattress and pillow protectors. We did have an issue with the AC; it was left on 62 when we arrived and the units froze up, so it was pretty uncomfortable at times.
Again, overall we had a good stay.
