Perfect location in SOCO!

We had a lovely stay at Chad's property, which could not be in a better location for the shopping and dining in the South Congress neighborhood, plus an easy drive/Uber to downtown, Barton Springs, or anywhere else you want to be in the city. Chad was always prompt to respond to any questions or requests and was easy to work with throughout. This is a rental I would happily return to!

Perfectly-Located Haven

My team was in town for SXSW, our first big trip since the pandemic, so having a cozy home base after all the networking, events, and parties was important. Chad's home was perfectly located close to SoCo restaurants (we never had a bad meal!) and a straight shot to the Convention Center and downtown. We could not have asked for a better place with plenty of space for the three of us. Whenever we had any issues, Chad was immediately responsive and attentive via text. We'd love to come back again!

Great stay!

We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Chad's wonderful home. We were wanting to stay where we could walk to restaurants and shops, and this was the best location in Austin to be able to do that. To our surprise, even though we were only one block away, we heard no noise at all from South Congress, and we were there over New Year's Eve! The house was perfect for our group, comfortable and homey, and was one of the best equipped rentals we've stayed in. Thank you so much, Chad, for sharing your home with us, and thank you for the inviting atmosphere that greeted us when we arrived.

The location and host are amazing. Chad is easy to communicate with and extremely helpful with his recommendations. The house is very clean and well located; an easy walk to nice spots on South Congress. The suggestions I would have is that the second bathroom needs to be updated soon, along with the mattresses in the second and third bedrooms. Regardless, overall it was a great experience!
