Das
Liszt Ferienhaus is located in Downtown San Antonio, Texas. The
Area
is Historical and adjacent to the well known King William Historical
District. The neighborhoods are over 100 years old, but the
Downtown
Area has been populated and inhabited for almost 300 years.
In
my opinion, San Antonio has probably "The Safest" Downtown Area of
"any"
United States City. Because most of
San Antonio's Tourist Activity takes place Downtown, it is kept as safe
as possible. If the Downtown area were to acquire a reputation
for
danger, Millions would be lost in the Tourist and Convention
Industry.
I suggest that, as with any area, even the ones you know very well, you
address each situation with a normal amount of caution.
This
neighborhood is considered an Up-And-Coming area by Realtors. The
King William District is a "way above average" market, so buyers are
looking
in "this" area to purchase more affordable Historical Homes to Restore.
You
will find that in all of the Downtown Residential Areas of San Antonio,
even King William, there will be Completely Refurbished Homes, such as
the Ferienhaus. Then nearby, there will be homes that are in the
process of remodeling, and then houses that haven't had any work done
to
them. The properties on all sides of the Ferienhaus have been
refurbished
and are in good condition.
The
Ferienhaus is surrounded by very nice families; all married couples,
older
and younger, with children. Our neighbor right next door is a New
Braunfels Police officer.
I
actually lived in the Ferienhaus, myself, the summer of 2004, with my
two
younger children, while we were completing the renovations. I
have
to say, I loved it! In fact, I loved it so much, I sincerely regretted
having to return, to my own home, when it came time for my son to go
back
to school.
My
personal veiw is that the neighborhood is Historical; Old, but
Safe.
There are some areas that might "look" suspicious, but I haven't
experienced
anything questionable. I have not encountered "anything" that
would
frighten me or make me uncomfortable. In fact, the neighbors are so
friendly
they might startle you by waving and saying "Hi".
Recently,
we had Celebrities as our Guests. Two of the Lead Performers in
the
Touring Company of HAIRSPRAY lodged at the Ferienhaus. They
stayed
for two weeks, and commented that they were quite Happy and
Comfortable.
They further remarked that they were pleased with the warm atmosphere
of
a home, rather than the cool regularity of a hotel room. They
mentioned
they appreciated the advantages of the kitchen and laundry facilities,
which they promptly put to use. They also enjoyed their trip to
work,
once they discovered the Majestic Theatre was conveniently located,
just
2 miles away. As with all our guests, I enjoyed meeting them and
getting to know them. I look forward to hearing from them, when
they
pass through San Antonio on their next Theatrical Tour.
I
truly recommend your consideration of Das Liszt Ferienhaus as a Loging
Option, if you are visiting San Antonio and plan to spend a reasonable
amount of time Downtown, on the River Walk, at the Convention Center,
Historical
Missions, etc. Please don't hesitate to E-mail
or call with "any" questions you might have.
We
want your experience, as Our Guests, to be so Pleasurable you return to
stay at Das Liszt Ferienhaus again, and again.
I
look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Laralee
