Extended stay was great
We stayed here for almost a couple months. Worked great for us... family of four and a dog who got to enjoy the gigantic back yard. Easy access to the greenbelt which was nice and a quick drive downtown. Thanks for everything!

Pictures not accurate
Property isn’t exactly as portrayed. The furniture is accurate. But the walls, ceiling, bathrooms are all in desperate need of repair. We had no hot water in the hall bathroom and everybody had to use the master bathroom. This house could be a great house if they would put some money into fixing it up.

Nice house, so so neighborhood.
Nice house, modern decor, enough space, comfortable beds. It was well stocked with necessities. The only downside is the neighborhood. It looks like it's getting better, but some parts are still a bit rough. Plus, airplanes fly over until late at night, so pretty noisy.

Home away from home
We had a very comfortable stay! Fully stocked with anything and everything we would need for a weekend with family. Owners were incredibly quick in response to any question we had. Great location, close to campus, downtown, and Zilker Park. We will be back!!
