Fabulous Riverwalk Location!!!
Communication was excellent and the apartment exceeded our expectations. So close to all our favorites on the Riverwalk. The only warning is that this is a downtown location, so there can be a little street noise. It wasn't persistent, but on occasion it was there. Each bedroom includes a white noise machine which helped greatly. Didn't bother me as I got my best sleep in weeks (probably from all the exploring). Will definitely stay again next time I'm in San Antonio!

Modern Comfort Downtown
Beautifully appointed apartments in the nicely renovated SA Light Building. Easy to find and access. Parking isn't cheap but we were able to park right next to the building, so it was convenient. The bedding was perfect! Gets a little noisy in the very early mornings but not too bad overall. Take your own coffee! There is a machine but no coffee. Thankfully, the coffee shop next door is great! I would have liked more security to the building. We did not have to enter a code to get inside, only to get into our unit. I would stay again at La Luz due to its cleanliness and location.

Best Service!!!
I didn’t actually stay in the unit because had to cancel at the very last minute due to illness. This is a review about the host/staff. They are amazing! Communication was impeccable, very understanding and compassionate. Other hosts should take a page from their book, and more. Their service is the best. Thank you again and I will book with them again when I go back to San Antonio!

Great VRBO!!!
My husband and I brought our two grandgirls (ages 8 and 10) to San Antonjo since our trip to Galveston was canceled due to the hurricane. What a great trip this was! The VRBO we selected was amazing! So retro and gorgeous. The location is walking distance to the Riverwalk, The Alamo, and so much more! We also took a day trip down to Mustang Island. Pwrfect location,great amenities, gorgeous place! Ill definitely keep it in mind for future trips!!!!
