Beautiful Home in Downtown Neighborhood

A group of us came down for a girl's weekend at the end of February and stayed at Casa Linda. The house is just so adorable and the location was perfect! It's walking distance to the Riverwalk (about a 10 min walk) and a quick $5 cab ride back. There's also plenty of cute and tastey restaurants right there is the neighborhood. It's an up and coming area and perfectly safe to walk around late at night.
We all just loved how charming the house was and the 'neighborhood' cats definitely made it feel more like a home. I think our favorite part of the house was the front porch! Most of our weekend was spent out sightseeing or in the hill country on wine tours, but the time we did spend in, was on that porch!! The beds were a bit firm but there was plenty of room for all of us. Although we didn't get to meet the owners in person, they were so nice and very accommodating. They even had food in the pantry and fridge!
We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone and will definitely stay here on our next adventure down from Dallas.

We were in San Antonio for a business conference. Casa Linda is extremely convenient to the convention center...a 5-10 minute walk. It is located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of some wonderful locally owned restaurants. (Azuca, Rosario's and La Foccia were great for lunch or dinner. Mad Hatter's is an experience for breakfast)

The house is an older, renovated dwelling in an obviously up and coming area.The kitchen was even stocked with some basic food supplies! What a plus that was. The neighborhood was quiet and the people were very friendly.

The local shuttle bus stops right at the end of the street. For $4 you can ride as many times as you want during the day. We made good use of the shuttle bus.

If you love architecture, walk the King William area...reminded me of Savannah.

I'd much rather come "home" after a long day of lectures...as opposed to going back to a hotel room. Would definitely stay here again if we are back in San Antonio.

Tommy was great to to work with.

San Antonio is a beautiful city, but it's easy to get lost in the chaos of urban living. My family was making a 5-hour drive to visit me for my graduation and I wanted to make sure they had a spectacular weekend.

The King Williams area is the hidden gem of San Antonio (I didn't discover it until after 2 yrs of living there). The area is tranquil, the houses are charming, the restaurants are family-run, and there are groups of people walking down the street at 10pm (or riding bicycles). It's hard to believe you're only one mile from downtown. Instead of opting for the typical run-of-the-mill hotel, I looked through the HomeAway listings and found this treasure, Casa Linda. Tom & Stacy are wonderful hosts. I cannot thank them enough for their consistent communication and graciousness. Casa Linda is located within a few blocks of most restaurants and bars. We walked everywhere and my family repeatedly complimented my selection. The house consists of 4 bdrms, 2 restrooms, a kitchen (handy if you're on a budget), and a beautiful front porch where we spent most of our time. We walked to dinner at La Foccaccia (delicious italian) and then crossed the street to have a few drinks at the Friendly Spot (outdoors, pet friendly, and a playground for the kids). The rental rates are reasonable and absolutely worth every penny for the experience.

The property is clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. To keep a reader from thinking my review is biased and is too good to be true, I will point out a few details for consideration. First, there are two restrooms. This could be an issue if all of your guests plan on showering within the exact same hour. Plan ahead and you should be fine. Secondly, parking could pose a problem if each guest is bringing their own vehicle and there is an event in the area, in which case street parking could be problematic. Third, there are cats. This isn't an issue for my family since we have a rescue of our own, but not everyone is like us. Just ignore them. Fourth, if you don't appreciate antiques and culture, you're going to miss out on the beauty of this home and the area.

We had a wonderful weekend. We spent a lot of time bonding as a family and we would absolutely, without a doubt, rent here again. In fact, we are strongly considering it in the fall when it's cooler to take advantage of a "First Friday" festival. Thanks again, Tommy and Stacy. We had a wonderful stay.
