We really enjoyed our stay! Michelle was amazing at communicating and answering questions. The house had so much charm, was clean and comfortable! It was close to everything. We walked to the Alamo and the riverwalk easily. Thank you so much!

A place with character and personality. The location is great, quiet with a short 15 minute walk to Riverwalk, Alamo, Alamodome, and convention center. Loved it.

Such a great place
6 / 10Average·Oct 2018
The house was perfectly located for my meeting at the Convention Center. The owner, Michele, was very responsive.
On the other hand, the house is 130 years old. This makes it quaint and gives it character. The central air works well as does the plumbing, for such an old place. On the other hand, the door knob fell off when we arrived (owner promptly fixed it the next day), and my wife never could get in the front door (you have to jiggle the deadbolts just the right angle).
Since it is so old, there is only one dresser with some drawers for your clothes in bedroom 2 (not in the master bedroom) and a makeshift closet, converted out an old storage cupboard, in the dining room, where you can hang your clothes. Getting dressed in the morning is a naked hike around the house. The windows have external shutters and no curtains, by the way.
The "TV" is the most basic subscription of only a few channels, about a dozen, 50% of which are in Spanish and few of which are the usual cable channels. Bring your own movies or your own connection to home.
There is no parking on the street and no driveway. You drive up an alley around back, get out of the car, open a gate and park on the back yard, which was pretty muddy when it rained. It's unclear if you then need to get out and pull the gate closed before you go in, or just leave the gate open. After a while, we gave up and left the gate open.
Overall, it is clean, well-located and cutesy quaint in its antiquity, but certainly not posh. Know what you are getting and you will find it charming, but a little challenging.
