Great location!

This is a great place to stay especially if you want to enjoy the South Congress area. The house has plenty of room for a group and is within walking distance of restaurants and shops. Also was surprised by how quiet the neighborhood is. The beds were comfortable and the two seating areas patio are great.

4.5 stars Great spot, very heavily used, not for cooks

I’d give it 4.5 stars if I could. The location is great. The floor plan of the house is very comfortable. The beds were comfortable. The property management was very responsive. That said, here’s why it wasn’t a five star for me (to me 5 stars is no notes) 1. There’s a lot of extra admin outside the VRBO app, extra forms, uploading ID, etc. Also, on the paperwork through that company it reflected our rate was higher for “extra people” which is off putting given we had 6 people for a 3 bedroom house.2. You can tell this place is used heavily- it could use a break from rotation to get more mugs (there weren’t enough for everyone), have some paint touched up, new blinds put in, etc. 3. When we got there, there were only the bare minimum number of towels. We found the rest in the dryer, but I’d expect either a note from property mgmt in advance or for them to be folded and back in cabinets. Likely the cleaning folks were rushed when they turned it around.4.Two different people unfolded bath towels and found hair balls stick to them. I know this is a thing that happens, it happens to me at home, but it’s off putting when it’s not your hair. 5.The dining table is uncomfortable especially if you have 6 people and two need to use the backless stools.

Comfortable home close to S. Congress

This was a terrific base for our family's visit to Austin for the F1 races. The home is lovely, just as described and shown in photos (except leather couch has been well loved). It's just a few minutes easy walk to S. Congress for great options for morning coffee, restaurants and shopping. Even with that easy access, the neighborhood itself is a quiet area of beautiful homes. Would definitely stay again!

Location, location, location

When they say this property is close to SoCo- it is CLOSE. We barely got in our car the entire week. There was so much to walk to, see and do. The neighborhood is charming and quiet, a great place to visit with kids. The property itself was as described. And despite the requirement to park on the street, the very friendly neighbor emerged as soon as we checked in to offer us a driveway spot. Minor nits: we had booked this property for Thanksgiving and intended to cook but found the kitchen gear less than the "gourmet kitchen" description in the listing. The knives were dull, and there was little in the way of equipment (blender, food processor, etc). Perfect, though for simple meals. We ended up eating out for Thanksgiving which saved us time anyway. When we arrived, I searched my email for "VRBO" and instructions to check-in. Not finding any, I emailed the host. They responded in minutes. Their name is "Guest Spaces," and the email does not reference VRBO so you need to search for an email with that name.

Wonderful House and a Short Walk from Everything

We walked all over Austin from this location and always returned to a cool and comfortable house. I forgot my prescription glasses out the house and they have been slow to respond in getting them returned, but that is my fault more than anyone's. Shouldn't have left them! The house could also use some board games and the TV channels are limited, but we were there for Austin and not the TV. Great, clean and charming!
