Our group of 6 all really liked this house. It is centrally located off Music Row and within walking distance of many things, yet located on a quiet street with little traffic. It is a short 10 minute walk to Vanderbilt (including Starbucks, Panera, Chipotle, Ben & Jerry’s, Mellow Mushroom Pizza and San Antonio Taco Co). Division St/Midtown, with many bars and restaurants, is a 7 to 12 minute walk. You could even walk to downtown if the weather was nice enough.
If you are into beer only bars with friendly people, check out Bobby’s Idle Hour Tavern, a short 5 minute walk down 16th Ave. The only bar on Music Row, it is not uncommon for artists or other recording industry folks to stop in for a beer when their day is done. Rumor has it that Bobby’s was the inspiration for Toby Keith’s Red Solo Cup song.
The house was spacious and clean with a mix of modern and vintage charm. High ceilings, 9 foot pocket doors, original woodwork with a modern kitchen addition including a gas stove and quality appliances. Comfortable beds with plenty of blankets and pillows. Clean bathrooms with necessary toiletries. For those wanting tech amenities, WiFi and an Amazon echo were available. The unseasonably cold weather precluded us from being outside, but there is a covered front porch and a rear deck with a small yard and fire pit.
Andy, the host/owner was very responsive and easy to deal with. Check in/out was very easy and all necessary house info was provided on printouts in several places throughout the house. There were also nice touches such as chocolate and stocked bar provided.
All in all, I would highly recommend this house for your stay and excursions to Music Row, Midtown, The Gulch and downtown. If you need to go further, Uber’s are plentiful and reasonable.
