The house lovely we thought. It is historic with the big windows. The house was very clean and very fully stocked. The hosts were very accommodating to our specific needs for the weekend. The house was in walking distance of the Alamodome.

Our group of 7 enjoyed Tomm house The house was big enough for our group. Th location was great to walk to Riverwalk The house needs a little TLC, especially on outside. That being said if you stay in a historic home you have to expect it's little quirks. Overall the house was large enough, beds where comfortable , great time in San Antonio.

This house was perfect for our family. Great location and just as described. All bedrooms are up stairs, but the living room can close up and the sleeper sofa worked perfect for us - traveling with a broken foot.

This is a wonderful property with tons of space and all expected amenities. The neighborhood was beautiful and safe and it was an easy 10-15 minute walk to the different parts of the River Walk/Alamo. It is an older home, so we noticed some of the charming quirks like creaky floors and doors that didn’t always latch tight. None of these detracted from our stay. The AC sometimes had a hard time keeping up with the extreme summer heat, but Tommy has provided plenty of fans throughout the home, and we all slept and lived comfortably. He was a kind and communicative host, including working with us very graciously when we needed to alter the length of our stay.

Lovely older home with lots of space and comfortably slept our group. Everything we needed in kitchen, plenty of parking space for our cars. House is older than appears in pictures and needs a little TLC, but great value and we would absolutely stay again. Owner was responsive and accommodating. Easy walk to Riverwalk.

The Host was friendly,the kitchen was fitted and the fridge even had fresh eggs! It was nice and close to the Riverwalk area and very comfortable. Super neat view through the trees of the Tower of the Americans from the balcony. Floors could have been a little cleaner around the corners but there were plenty of towels and other necessities. Fantastically cool old style house!
