Very nice apartment. Clean and close to so many attractions. I had hoped for more of a kitchenette. The mattress may need replaced soon. The patio area was not ready for guests, but otherwise a very nice stay.

Excellent accommodations and location
I stayed at this location alone during a conference at the Grand Hyatt which was about a 15 minute walk away (which I enjoyed through the nearby park). Outside the apartment was well lit which felt important because it did feel like I was just starting to get on the outskirts of the main action in the area. Cleanliness, decor, space, amenities all felt great. The bed was very comfortable. Location was excellent. I walked to the conference, to the River Walk, to downtown, to restaurants nearby and to the park with an awesome ice cream spot called Lick. It was a very fun trip! One note is the construction that is going on nearby. Another heads up, when people come in and out of the building, my locked apartment door would crash loudly, scared me the first time but then I knew what it was. First time to San Antonio. I will be back next year for the same conference and plan on staying here again!

I've stayed all over the riverwalk area, but this place is among one of my places. It's perfectly split between La Villita and King William, and it's on a quiet street. I plan to stay here again.

Nice and convenient spot
It is exactly how it looks in the pictures - no problems with the property and very easy walk to the Convention center.
The neighborhood is transitional, I don't recommend walking alone late at night. Keep your vehicle locked; I guess I didn't and it got rifled through, but no damage and nothing of value to take. Overall I still highly recommend this listing!

It was… ok.
The place was charming and clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the location was convenient, but there are a few negatives. The courtyard doesn’t look anything like the pictures. It definitely needs some work - dead plants everywhere, it was overgrown with weeds, messy and filthy. The listing lead us to believe we would have a balcony, which was one of the main reasons we booked this particular house, but it didn’t, so there was no comfortable place to relax outside and that was a big disappointment. The water pressure was very low so I recommend giving yourself some extra time if you have thick hair to wash. One of the main things we didn’t like was that the front and back entry doors and every guest room uses the same exact key, so someone could potentially walk into your room when you’re not there. There was a door chain, however, so at least we felt a little safer while inside the room. There were a few times we found the main entry doors to be unlocked. The host controls the air but responded right away when we arrived and told them the room was a bit on the warm side. They had no problem turning it down for us. All in all, if you’re just looking for a place to lay your head that’s within walking distance to the river walk, etc., and you don’t mind the other stuff, it’s a cool little place to stay. For us personally, we would’ve been more comfortable in a hotel but enjoyed experiencing something different.

Stay at blue House.
The location was convenient for seeing the Alamo & Riverwalk. We arrived after 10 pm. Security and or safety was a little concerning, because the vehicle next to where we parked, had its passenger window broken out. We did not have any issues.

Great location!
Quiet neighborhood, comfortable bed, easy walk to the convention center, Alamo, and Southtown. As previously noted by another reviewer, there are 3 rooms in the building and all use the same key for the front door and rooms. There are deadbolts and chains inside the rooms for when you are inside, but other guests can potentially enter your room when you are not there. All that said, we have stayed here twice and would stay again as the location is so convenient.

Great space and experience
I was very happy to see that the unit actually matched the pics and description on VRBO site.
I had arrived a few minutes early and the property manager happened to be there and let me in early.
This unit is in the back and upstairs so the construction across the street in the front did not disturb me at all or interrupt from my remote work. Room was decorated very tastefully and had everything you could need (including robes!). Very clean throughout.
Housekeeper (Hazel) and property owner (Shawn) very responsive and helpful in answering questions.
One block to historic La Villita shops and two blocks to southern loop of Riverwalk as well as close to Southtown shops and restaurants.
I felt perfectly safe walking everywhere I needed to go, including the 15 min walk to HEB grocery nearby for wine and snacks, etc., along sidewalk on busy thoroughfare and when returning from Riverwalk in the evenings.
I wanted to extend my stay, but they were (understandably) booked all week for the holidays.
I plan to return the next time I visit San Antonio.
