Beautiful Austin home
We had 5 girls staying here and the home was very spacious and comfy. Our only comment is that the cleaning staff needs to make sure they look for cobwebs and dust a bit better. We would stay again though. Host was extremely kind and responsive.

Great location, lots of space in the house and host was very easy to communicate with. Overall we had a great stay. One negative for us was the furniture in the great room. Furniture is low to begin with and when you sit on it you sink in. Seems like you are close to sitting on the floor.

There were some issues with the house cleanliness. The master bathroom had vomit on the toilet that hadn’t been cleaned from the previous visitors. There were also major problems with the house security that we had to constantly communicate with the house owner on.

BEST PLACE ON VRBO IN AUSTIN
Stayed here with 7 of my buddies from out of town for our spring break and it was the best trip ever. The house was perfect size for our group even a little bigger than needed! Wonderful amenities and perfect location with a cute neighborhood Main Street with restaurants, coffee shops, bars, grocery stores, and parks literally one block away. Also, for bars and clubs in austin the Main Street is 6th which was within walking distance away from the house making no Ubers necessary! Host was beyond nice and fabulous. COULD NOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!!

Best place in Austin for so many reasons
To start, this home in the beautiful Clarksville neighborhood is within walking distance of so many great places, from the grocery store to the coffee shop, park and excellent restaurants. It's also a short drive or Uber ride to the entertainment district with restaurants, live music venues and many other nightclubs. It's also not a far drive from the Austin airport.
The home itself is quite cozy and spacious, as well. Great kitchen and outdoor patio, too...and with a grill in case you want to cook out. We got really lucky, and can't recommend this home any higher.

Great stay for a group
We came to Austin with a group of guys for a bachelor party. This house was perfect. Lots of space, very clean and comfortable. Laura met us at the house for our arrival and walked us through. The neighborhood is fantastic...quiet residential area with lots of very close locations for groceries and a meal if you do not want to stray far but close enough to downtown to walk for get an inexpensive Uber/Lyft. I highly recommend the Galaxy Cafe for breakfast. We all had a blast and if I make it back to Austin I will definitely look Laura up for this house to stay in again! Made our weekend fantastic!

Good Stay
The house was great location wise, and plenty big enough to host a large group. The neighbors on one side are apparently a little sensitive, but that's not a reflection on the owners. Only suggestion would be to upgrade TV package. With the Masters/NHL playoffs/NBA playoffs all on it was frustrating not to get the broadcasts. Thanks to Laura and her husband for accommodating us, would stay here again.
