Very clean, comfortable and convenient home with modern facilities, beautiful bathrooms/kitchen. Easy access to Austin's major roads and airport. Very quiet and safe neighborhood although not a prestigious one. Owner was very communicative and thorough; I would have liked a little more flexibility about gaining access to the property without total reliance on smartphones as I struggle with some vision issues and smartphone connectivity when I travel.

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was very nice and thr host was very responsive. The only thing is that I would have liked for the listing to have mentioned that there is a massive step up to get into the home. My handicap father had a difficult time getting in and out of the home. Other than that it was nice and we had a good experience.

My staff stayed here while working at COTA. Having a clean comfortable place to stay when away from the track was all we needed and this house was perfect. We hope to stay again in the future. Thank you!

Decent Stay
The overall stay was ok but nothing special. We had a couple of issues but, to be fair I did not reach out to the host because I knew these things were not going to be solved during our stay. The first is the back yard. The listing stated it was a fenced in backyard but I guess due to construction, a big chunk of it was missing. This was a huge inconvenience being that we picked this property mostly to be able to accommodate our dog but we were not even able to let him go potty in the back without a leash. The second was the guest shower. The sliding doors to the shower were broken and or not installed correctly therefore they would not shut all the way leaving a huge gap for water to splash out. We were restricted to sharing one shower. The third was the driveway. The post did state that it was a shared driveway but not that it was only for 1 vehicle. I was able to park on the street when another guest was there which wasn’t a big deal but multiple times, we got the the house and the driveway was blocked by other cars, not sure if it was neighbors or workers of all of the construction going on around us. There was a lot of good things about the house but not enough to look past all of the other inconveniences.
