Great place to Stay in Austin.

This house was a wonderful place to stay with ample room and comfy furniture. Everything worked well and was clean for the most part. Baseboards and floors underneath furniture were a bit dusty with some cobwebs that were visible, but other than that - the place was great. Would stay again for sure.

came down to Austin with 4 buddies for a race, wouldn't have imagined a better location or a better rental for the trip. Walking distance to a lot of bars and restaurants, and also to the venue for the race. My only regret is that we weren't here long enough to take advantage of all the amenities that this location offered: rooftop, the patio with the smoker and the grill, etc. The rooms were amazing, everything was so clean and comfortable. Will definitely rent this home again.

Great place overall

The location couldn’t be beat, and the place is decorated beautifully with fabulous outdoor spaces. Great for groups. The only issue we had with the cleanliness was a backed up garbage disposal and subsequent fruit fly issue.

Great location, right in the heart of great food

Location was perfect for delivery from a variety of great nearby restaurants. Many are within walking distance, but due to COVID we got everything delivered. Lots of entertainment options close by too under normal circumstances. House was clean and as advertised. There was a grill outside too, but we had no interest in cooking with all the fantastic restaurants.

Fun house!

We had a very positive experience with this listing. The property is in a cool neighborhood, walking distance to local eateries, and provided us plenty of space. My only complaint was that not all amenities were functioning which the rental agency hadn’t listed before booking. Otherwise I give this place a thumbs up!
