Host was very communicative and responsive. The house is a beauty in a wonderful historic neighborhood. Walking distance (10-15 minutes) to everything we wanted to do (Riverwalk, Alamo, Hemisfair, etc.). Great restaurants and coffee shop one block away! Know that to enjoy a historic home you need to factor in stairs, smaller bathroom counter space, etc. This home has a ton of windows creating a light-filled atmosphere which was wonderful during the day (but a little too much street light at night). There is a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor so if you’re traveling with someone elderly or with mobility challenges, this is great. All the bedrooms were very, very large. There’s a huge dining room plus a breakfast nook in the kitchen, which is well-equipped with modern appliances. Near to grocery store. The only thing that bothered me was that none of the windows in the home would open (painted shut, not uncommon in old homes). The weather was so nice on the second day of our trip, it would have been nice to open a few windows rather than use the AC. And not sure if it’s a safety issue that windows cannot be opened in bedrooms in case of fire? It’s a grand old house on a very large lot so despite being so near to many things, it was pretty quiet. Small park across the street too.
