Perfect Location!
If you want to be close to everything and really get a feel for the city of Austin this is the place to stay! Walking distance to some great local restaurants and shops, and a very short drive to everything else. Clean and well appointed condo with private covered parking on a shady quite street, quintessential South Austin as I remember it from my time as a resident 25 years ago. Highly recommended and will definitely stay again!

Spacious, elegant, great location
Enjoyed a long weekend in Austin with friends. Plenty of room and privacy for the four of us. Good options for restaurants nearby, short walk to shops and bars on 1st or Congress. Small outdoor patios and balcony, would have been perfect if there was an outdoor spot big enough for all of us.

The property was beautiful, spacious and in an excellent location! They need to put better pictures on VRBO because they do NOT do the property justice. The host maintained contact with us and provided immediate assistance.

South Austin
Great location, comfortable living. One recommendation is if you’re planning on cooking anything you’ll need to bring cooking essentials, such as salt, pepper spice etc. kitchen was not stocked with anything. There was also limited cookware.

Perfect Location
We LOVED this rental house! It was very clean and a great size for our family of 4. It is also located between two of our favorite restaurants, which was a huge bonus! The house is a 10 minute walk to South Congress and provided the perfect place to relax after our days exploring Austin. We had trouble with the front door code and the lock was a little challenging, but totally not a big deal. We also couldn't get the TV to work, but again- didn't really bother us. All in all- this is a great property to rent. HIGHLY recommend!!

3 star at best
Pros: location, size of space, decorated well
Cons: front door lock is broken making it hard for our large group to only have one key, overall the unit could have been cleaner (stained bed sheets, stains all over the couch, dirty bath mats).
All issues were reported and management responded but ultimately never fixed anything. Wouldn’t stay again.

Great location
Great location especially if you use Uber for night activities in SOCO. Parking is almost impossible there or more costly than round trip door to door Uber. Parking at the house is great. Very clean property. The downstairs bathroom is superb!
We would suggest more comfortable seating for the outdoor areas. The pavers need to be attended to as one of our party had a fall.

lovely house within walking distance to shops/restaurants
Loved this adorable house. The 3 bedrooms worked well for our family with our adult kids upstairs and my husband and I downstairs. We walked to SOCO, downtown regularly, sometimes taking an Uber back. Very nice, kitchen, great bed. The only downsides were no place to sit outside on main floor (we would have liked to have coffee or wine outside), and very small living room for a movie with family. But I knew this from the photos and didn't spend a lot of time inside so it worked great for us!

Being a best man comes with it’s choirs. Scheduling events, managing the groomsmen, making it all work. Returning to this place every day was a godsend. We slept like babies and made some memories. The location was great. The street was quiet. Just a short ride to downtown and we were stoked. Loved it.
