Alamo City Former Library Historic Home, Parking, BBQ, Firepit, Gated Side-Yards

Gated yard is just two fenced in sides of the house. It was ok for the dogs restroom but not enough to play.Fire pit was torn apart and against the wall so could not use.I will say that the host was very nice and worked with us to return a poster we had left behind.Very close to Alamo dome, Alamo, river walk.Inside of the home is gorgeous, but because it's very old, the main bed room door does not close on its own.

Everything was fine except the air conditioning was not working well. There was also no toilet paper, had to purchase my own.

The home itself was in good condition. I dont think it was cleaned before we arrived. The wall ac with the twin beds was not working. Blew warm air. I slept on the couch. Check in was fine and kitcen well equipped except hot pads would have been nice in the kitchen. Location, although it was older neighborhood, i felt safe but did not roam at night. Close to main attractions.

Upon arrival the property was over-grown/unkept. 2 of the 3 AC’s did not work. No BBQ pit, fire ring, or community pool as stated. Backyard is now a parking lot. Not the property owners fault on this one but we listened to a pachanga and fireworks until 4:30in the morning on the 5th of July. Absolutely no response from the manager even after contacting VRBO for assistance.

Iwill start saying this home has an ant infestation. We first found them crawling on a charging cord in the bedroom and realized they were coming from the wooden floorboards. They were TINY. When we looked closer, there were some crawling on the bed, throughout the rug and in other parts of the bedroom. We found tiny ants and a bit larger ants in the bathtub and crawling up the shower wall in the bathroom. We found an insane amount of Pharaoh ants in the kitchen, crawling the walls down to the garbage can and all over the microwave. Pharaoh ants can bite and they also transmit disease. Having then in a kitchen is one way to make people very ill. We didn't even used the microwave before discovering them because it had food stuck on the ceiling/walls inside. I refused to cook or use any of their dishes because nothing was clean. We were greeted with a bleach stained hand towel in the bathroom that looked like it had blood stains on it. The rugs in the bedrooms had gross stains on them like things had been spilled and never cleaned up. We questioned whether the bedding had been washed after the last guests had been there. Upon entering the house, it has an overall nice look to it, like the pictures, however, you notice the smell of it right away. It's like a musty odor, but different than that. Just unpleasant. Perhaps from the ants, which can give off an odor? Could be anything given the lack of cleanliness. I wish I could add more pi

Excellent house for my employees

Super cute house, but leaking mini split in the living room, mini split didn’t work (blowing hot) in the 2nd room, and grass was to my knees. Owner did not answer calls or messages (until the next day), so contacted VRBO upon arrival. Did not stay due to the health hazard of what appeared to be mold from the leaking in the wall. The back yard is shared with the house behind you, and I had to ask people to move their car just so I could park… other than that, you had to park in the street in the front of the house. Def didn’t want to do that! The neighborhood doesn’t seem to be somewhere I would purposefully stay had I been familiar with the location. The house was super clean and tidy on the inside other than the stuff mentioned.

Things went well

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.

Will book again!

The property was very clean and quaint, very close to the riverwalk and easy access to the highways.

Ideal location for sightseeing. Easy to get around. You can be at river walk and the Alamo in 5 minutes. The area is run down and needs redevelopment.

Location was great for our event. We enjoyed our stay

Owner was very responsive and I enjoyed my stay. Well maintained and beautiful home! Thanks!

I loved it!! Me and my son both

Had a great time even had our dog with us and had no problems highly recommend this place
