Austin is a symphony of sights, sounds, and experiences, at our place you're tuned to enjoy every note.

Whip up a meal or two in the thoughtfully equipped kitchen, featuring every essential, including a dishwasher for the aftermath. Dining with a view? Say no more! The patio, with its dining setup, offers an unparalleled perspective of Austin's cityscape. When night falls, ascend the spiral staircase to discover a charming loft-style bedroom, adorned with a snug double bed and draped in custom luxury hotel linens.
Modern conveniences have not been overlooked—from the in-unit laundry to a bathroom replete with every necessity, including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. And while we have a soft spot for our furry pals, this urban nest remains a pet-free zone. To add a cherry on top, two complimentary parking spots in the garage ensure your travels around the city are hassle-free. Need more?

This property has great potential
This property has potential, but it needs a good scrubbing down/cleaning/disinfecting and fresh paint. Pretty much everything, including the walls, shower, tile in the bathroom, etc. looks like it has a layer of dirt / grime on it.
On a positive note… The owner was very responsive to any questions or needs that we had, and the bed in the upstairs locked was very comfortable

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Overall it was great for what I needed. I’m very familiar with the west campus area, as my daughter graduated from UT in 2021 and lived in the area for 3 1/2 years. So I was expecting the “Greek life” and student housing. Walkable to campus and many stores/places to grab food. The complex overall could use to love. The actual apartment could use a fresh coat of paint. It was clean, but gives the illusion that it’s not, due to the mismatching of paint/patch jobs on the walls. Had a great tv with Roku, pots/pans, dishes, coffee pot, and basic utensils. Had a great view of downtown and the hill country. I would stay there again.

stay in Austin
In general the place is dirty, the walls and floors need a good scrub, Bed was fine as well as towels, also you do not leave the toilet brush out, your cleaning crew should have a place to store all those things, I would recommend seeing that the floors outside their appartment get hosed down... filthy...

Hook'em in comfort
Just returned for an amazing first time in Austin dropping off our UT Freshman and this property was perfect in every way. Being that it was mooove-in week the area and the building were busy with university students which was actually a lot of fun walking around and taking in the sites and sounds. The unit itself was a great size for our crew of 2 adults and a 16yro and the kitchen, bathroom and living area were in excellent condition and very useful. The enourmous outside deck was great in the morning but almost unbearable in the afternoon sun, it was HOT!!!! From the moment we book our unit until the moment be got home the communication with the owner/manager has been excellent. Look forward to staying here once again soon!

Great view off the large balcony for sunsets. Hot outside and AC could not keep up so warm in the property in the evening. Good communication with property managers about the situation.
Unit could be a bit cleaner. Great mattress on the bed upstairs. Dishwasher makes lots of noise during cycle so don’t turn on right before sleeping

West campus area
Great location in town that is near so many things to do in Austin. Would definitely consider staying here again. The balcony with the property was super nice to have.
There was a hiccup when we arrived at the property but with a quick phone call, the issue was resolved. The unit we stayed in was clean and spacious (was not the original unit due to the hiccup). I would recommend this company and will rent from them again.

Nice Apartment
The property was adequate for what I needed. The parking garage was very nice to have. Access to the apartment was easy at the garage gate, door gate, and apartment door. Cosmetically, there is some damage to the loft ceiling over the side of the rail, and bathroom cupboards and walls, so some repairs should be made to make it look nicer. Functionally, the property was good. Once I sent a message that I was checking out, I never did hear from the property manager acknowledging that he received my message.
Overall, great apartment! It had everything you would need for an overnight stay to an extended stay. I would definitely recommend, and would look for this property to have a repeated stay.

Convenient
Convenient location. Suitable for a family with kids who don't mind the pull-out. The pullout bed is comfy, as per my 17-year-old son. Can get loud at night with a frat house across the street. However, it did not keep us up. Great view off the patio. Easy walk distance to UT, Guad, etc. Would be a long walk to the stadium!
