This well equipped little house served us well with four adults. Communication with the owners was great! It's in a great neighborhood with places to walk to and only 10 mins to anything downtown. Had a great time and would stay again.
Adorable home. Comfortable bedrooms. Amazing location. Our host Zoe made sure we had what we needed. When we couldn't figure out how the light/fan combos worked in the bedrooms, she stuck with us late on a Sunday night to get things sorted and sent over a handyperson the next day to resolve one problem. Having a washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave and toaster available in the rental was a definite plus. (If you spend a lot of time in the bathroom, maybe look for an alternative. Apparently, the toilet plumbing is a mite delicate.) When we next need a rental in Austin, first, we'll check to see if this place is available.
