About this property

Arbor House-Blue 2

Located on the second floor your suite has a king bed & TV with attached living area complete with a sleeper sofa and TV. Also, your space has its own bathroom as well as a microwave, small refrigerator, and coffee maker. Please make sure to enjoy the garden area and porch patio. Located in downtown San Antonio. The Arbor House Suites are a collection of four restored 1903 homes, clustered around a lush garden. Each house has only three suites, featuring high ceilings, pine floors, private bathrooms and kitchenettes. Your suite is located upstairs in the Blue house. Adorned with a Mexican artisan fountain as the garden’s centerpiece, each guest stay comes with their very own backyard experience. Relaxed, tranquil and private, the courtyard setting gives each guest generous space to enjoy San Antonio’s quiet side. Sounds of the busy streets outside the gardens are hidden by the sound of trickling water and native bird life. There’s plenty of outdoor seating and natural shaded landscaping to escape from the activity of nearby River Walk or touring the adjacent historic sites and attractions. Arbor House is centrally located one block from historic La Villita, and the River Walk, and two blocks from the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center. Other attractions such as the Alamo are 3 blocks away. We are located downtown and accessible to any ride share or taxi. Also very close to bus transportation as well as scooters and bicycles for rent. One parking space per suite per night. One additional parking space may be rented at $25.00 per night. Some suites are located on the top floors and require going up a flight of stairs. We charge a $25 cleaning fee per-night once the reservation has been accepted. Airbnb will collect the initial $25 for the first night, and I will collect the remainder upon check out.

Great location for us

Property was clean, comfortable and as described in listing. We appreciated how conveniently located it was in proximity to the riverwalk and local businesses (restaurants and shops) which we walked to. We wouldn't hesitate to book this property again.

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.

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.

Fun in San Antonio

My wife and I typically look to avoid big hotels, and this was a great find for our first trip to San Antonio. It is close to Riverwalk and all that attracts visitors to the area, including the Alamo. We enjoyed staying here in an older property, sharing some history with all that makes San Antonio great.

Great place to stay near the Riverwalk

Beautiful room at historic property that is close to everything. The property is located just 2 short blocks to the Riverwalk and a 15 minute walk to the convention center. We arrived early and the host was gracious enough to let us check in early and was quick to respond to messages or calls. I loved it and will definitely be back next year.
