  : We enjoyed the property and its location.

  : It has a lot of character and in a great location. The bed was cozy and its pretty quiet. it is walking distance from the river walk on a warm day, but on cold or rainy days its a longer walk. The owner is very kind and helpful. The apartment itself has a lot of charm and feels like home.
  : Its a historical building, so it is just a tub. No shower which isnt too bad. it was nice to soak

  : No breakfast but it wasnt expected. Location seemed a little sketchy upon first arrival. It was behind the owners business/house but after settling in it was good and we had no problems. A few blocks from the north end of the Riverwalk but a very short, easy drive to downtown attractions. Accommodations were okay but felt cluttered by too many decorations. Step downs in front room and into bedroom make it questionable for those with mobility issues.
  : Too many decorations, insufficient interior lighting, and no shower.

  : Charming little place. I had the whole place, including a courtyard, all to myself for less than half the price my sister was paying for a hotel on the Riverwalk a mile or less away. The courtyard was begging for a guitar, but left mine at home, alas. Only caveat is that its not for the disabled. Im partially disabled (bad head injury a year ago) and did fine, but if it were 6 months ago, I would have had significant problems with steps and a bit of gravel. Outlets can be a bit scarce, but perfectly manageable and I bring a lot of gear. Anthony was a very responsive host and a nice man. Highly recommended.
  : Gate is a bit of a pain, but no big deal.

  : Lots of great objects, both in the unit and in the back yard. Anthony was a proactive host, and made sure we had everything we needed. The location is within walking distance of the heart of the Riverwalk (if you like walking), at a very fair price.
  : Someone has to sleep next to the wall, which isnt great for 70-somethings. However, this is obvious from the photos so we knew it coming in. Not really complaining, just noting.

  : Wonderful host, beautiful historic home stunningly presented. Access to lovely private garden area and hot tub!
  : Shower....Unfortunately this property doesn't have a shower. Due to it being a historic home, (it's challenging to understand this when we live in a 500 year old cottage in the UK with 3 Bathrooms...), A house built in the 40s should at least have an adapter or mixer tap you'd think. The bath was tiny and I'm not sure how we would have managed this for 5 nights we're a 6' and 6'2" couple. (It has air con so why can't it have a shower?)Bed....Unfortunately super small and old. Everything is bigger in Texas? Not here! We couldn't comfortably sleep in the bed that was against the wall on one side, we just really couldn't get comfortable in this bed at all. I think with a new solid frame and mattress it would probably be doable.Cockroaches...This was the icing on the cake. The home is beautiful but has a lot of stuff, every surface there is stuff. It's a cockroach dream and after one of these critters being determined to enjoy the bathroom and another two making themselves known in the living room we couldn't hack it and left at midnight on our first night of 5.We had to leave this properly and find a hotel after failing to sleep in the bed due to it being too small and uncomfortable and the cockroaches, we were so worried one was going to scuttle up the wall the bed was pressed against it was hard to relax.Overall this properly is lovely to visit but it's not a relaxing stay. The home is eerie and the location is odd. The street is full of delapidated homes with 'no tresspassing' signs everywhere making it feel a touch unsafe. Our host explained it was due to the area suddenly becoming expensive due to the popularity of the river walk and it's close proximity, and owners wanting huge sums of money for these homes. This absolutely checks out but doesn't give it a good vibe when you rock up to stay here.
