    For your peace of mind, the property is fully-fenced and offers off-street tandem parking in our gated driveway. A security system is also in use. We have three exterior cameras for our property, as it's vacant from time-to-time. Cameras cover the front porch (doorbell camera), front yard and back yard. The Nest doorbell blinks white when activity is detected.

    Privately owned and operated! You'll enjoy our lux amenities and personal touches. (No third party owner or management.)

    We are licensed by the City of San Antonio & Bexar County, which charges a Hotel Occupancy Tax. If you see added fees to your total, it's due to these mandatory taxes.

    Government Hill is one of San Antonio's oldest neighborhoods. This tightly-knit community is close to EVERYTHING Downtown: Pearl, the Alamo, Riverwalk, Convention Center, San Antonio Zoo, Museums, Trinity University, UIW, Alamo Heights, the AT&T Center & more! It's less than 9 minutes to the Airport, without traffic.

    It's integrally linked to Fort Sam Houston; in fact, you can often hear "Taps" from the front porch. Most Government Hill residents have owned their homes for generations; ours is the only rental on the block. The neighborhood is a mix of old historic mansions, newly updated homes (like ours), and some that are in need of TLC.
