Austin May weekend
Overall the unit is comfortable and clean but the building is fairly old. Bedrooms are nice though a bit sparse regarding closet and drawer space. Kitchen is adequate with nice sized refrigerator and the expected appliances. Location is a 10 minute walk from the Rainey St area that has several restaurants and clubs and a few minutes from 6th St where there are also numerous bars and restaurants. Overall for the price the unit is what one would expect in this city.

Great Place with plenty of room
This is a great place to stay at! Checkin instructions were clear and easy. I was a little taken back by the purple paint in the pictures, but once you get there the decor really comes together. This condo is in the heart of just about everything down town Austin, we were able to walk to everything we wanted to do. We will be staying there again for sure!

Affordable stay at a great location
This hotel was in a great spot for a stay in Austin, TX. Since it is in between 6th and Downtown, it is noisy throughout the night if you're an early bird. Nothing crazy- mainly peddle pub tour. We had 8 adults and just doubled up with the 4 beds. There was an air mattress available. The loft upstairs was spacious. The railing going upstairs was pretty steep & the top is definitely easy to trip on so just be prepared for that. One of the stabilizers was missing too so I recommend that being fixed to avoid injuries. They updated the couch which was nice because its cuter and super comfy. A few things were broken upon arrival so we took pictures just to cover our butts to avoid any charges (we didn't get any yet, but worth noting). Definitely an older complex but AC worked and it was still a comfortable place to stay. Kitchen had a coffee machine and cutlery available. We ate out but it would be easy to have eaten at home if need be. Prior to our trip the communication with the property manager was good and quick. Communication was non existent when we arrived, I had a few questions for Ryan that went unanswered. But thankfully the phone number provided for the complex allowed me to talk to whoever was there at the time. Check in was earlier than advertised so that was nice. Wouldn't recommend for someone who has a hard time with stairs, as its on the third floor & the stairs are a little sketchy. But overall we had a nice stay, minimal issues, & would recommend.

great location
Awesome location, comfortable beds and nice kitchen. The only reason I give 4 stars is because there was obviously a bachelorette party there before us and lots of "phallic confetti" in the carpet and the entry. A vacuum would have fixed that.
Great place though.

Amazing downtown location!
Property is very nice and the location really makes it. So wonderful to be right downtown with easy walking to Sixth St, Lake Austin and all the downtown restaurants and clubs.
Our large family had plenty of room and we enjoyed the front room for games.
The unit had some basic maintenance issues (plugged bathroom sink, nonfunctional kitchen garbage disposal, no heat in the dryer) but nothing major.

Very nice, spacious property but needs some attention
Stayed 9/10/17 thru 9/15/17
Cons: while the property pictures are impressive, the furniture in the open area is worn and stained. Several of the closet and cabinet doors were broken/unhinged; no hangers in any closet, no kitchen linens. Lamps were broken or falling apart in several rooms. Wifi faded in and out throughout the day and water was shut off twice during stay.
Pros: Michael and Ryan were extremely responsive to water issues (wasn't their fault) and assisting with tips on improving wifi. They strive to provide prompt service which is great! Kitchen and all appliances are like new; beds were very comfortable, plenty of freshly laundered bed linens and towels. Being on the top, corner floor of the building made for a quiet stay. Conveniently located in the downtown area; easily within walking distance of many great venues.
With a bit more attention, this would easily be a 5-star venue for a group of 6-8 folks.

Perfect Downtown Austin Girls Getaway Location!
This loft was perfect for a girls getaway in Austin. Super convenient to get to and from 6th and Rainey Streets and all necessary amenities were at our disposal. Would definitely come visit again and rent this unit!

False Advertising and Poor Service
This was, by far, my worst experience at a property.
Our water was shut down entirely for almost a whole day as there was work being done in the building. Our party of 9 was forced to go to a nearby hotel and buy spa day passes in order to shower and clean up.
The internet was spotty at best if you stay in the living room.
When we arrived at the property there was no laundry detergent available as specified in the property description. There was also insufficient toilette paper, paper towels, trash bags, etc. leaving us with no option but to go out of our way to purchase additional supplies.
The property was not handicap accessible as specified on the posting – we had to lug our belongings 3 flights of stairs. Also, they post a pool, which is not part of the property.
Finally, when I sent a complaint letter to the owner and property manager, they in turn filed a claimed that stating that we broke their garbage disposal and charged a few hundred dollars in retaliation.

Very nice place and location
Very nice place and location. We will definitely use them again. But we only had one parking spot. It would have been nice to have two spots since we had 8 people with us. We tried to call and ask but did not get an answer back.

Great place close to lots of fun in Austin
