Home is in need of touch ups and care. Only 4 towels and two wash clothes were avail and painters tape wrapped the front door handle, which was broken, and dismissed by the owner. We stay at VRBO’s all over the nation and in Austin and this was a disappointment.

East Austin is great, this home was located near most of the sites and restaurants I wanted to visit. The host is easy to contact, the neighborhood was chill. If I had to be critical, the beds werent the most comfortable and cleaning crew seemed to be in a hurry as kitchen had a few minor areas. Again, this is being critical, Id be willing to book this place a second time.

We enjoyed our time here! There was a large downed limb in the back yard that has taken down some string lights, and there was a rotten pear left in the fruit basket, but other than that, pretty nice. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Air mattress was high quality. We loved the convenient to everything location.

Mini get away

The house was perfect, quiet neighborhood. My son and grandkids went to concert, my hubby and I stayed to relax, everything was convenient and I liked that I was close to the Moody arena, no traffic to get there and I didn’t get lost. I know where to stay for our future concerts.

The placed smelled like mildew. It was absolutely rancid. I’m glad I happen to have a few incense sticks with me. But that still didn’t help much. It was impossible to get used to. Ended up leaving a day earlier because it was so horrible. Would’ve left sooner, but I had a very important market. I had to attend.

Moto Weekend at COTA

Found this property last minute for my brother-in-law, my wife and me. Great location and clean. Lots of little extras like coffee, soap etc. available. Some reviews complained about the safety of the neighborhood, but it is fine. It reminds me of our neighborhood in Houston Heights.

Quaint House

The house is suitable for 2 people. We were grateful we only needed 1 night in Austin. The neighborhood is being gentrified. We didn't feel safe walking at night around the neighborhood. Also, the coffee pot is the size of the one you get in a motel room. It was dirty, as was the french press. After realizing the coffee pot and french press weren't clean we opted not to use any of the dishes.

Quick Girls trip!

My 3 best friends and I just had a quick girls trip to Austin! The house was perfect for the 4 of us! Close to everything in a quick Uber ride! The house had a full kitchen in case you wanted to cook! Really cozy place! The communication with our host was 100/10 she was available to us when we had a few questions! I would definitely stay again /)
