This is the best location! So easy to walk to South Congress, as well as the path at Lady Bird Lake. Super quiet street and our Ubers could find us easily. Our other option we were considering was a condo on Rainey Street (loud with a big party atmosphere) and I’m SO GLAD that we picked this one. I appreciated the quiet neighborhood here. Communication with the host was awesome as well as his flexibility. He has earned his 10 star rating for sure!

We had a wonderful stay at South River City. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. The location was in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood and yet very convenient (walking distance) from shops and great places to dine. The host was friendly and helpful in making our stay a great experience.

Safe and convenient stay close to SOCO and downtown Austin

We stayed here for a couple weeks during SXSW. John was super responsive and even had some welcome treats in the unit when we arrived. Very nice neighborhood and pretty quiet for the city. The bed was a bit firm for our tastes but not bad. It was veryeasy to walk to many places.

Great location

We had a great stay with John in his South Congress location. It was so easy to get downtown, whether you walk it, via Lady Bird Lake walkover located right outside of his neighborhood. The apartment was very clean and ready for the unexpected cold weather that we woke up to on our first night. The bed was comfortable. We made breakfast every morning and found street parking every night we were there. The washer and dryer was the very nice to have and made our decision to stay here this trip and our next one. See you next time John

The unit is above a detached garage and is the perfect size for 1-2 people. Laundry is in the garage below the unit. I didnt cook anything on this trip but the kitchen seemed functional. The close proximity to south congress and downtown while feeling like you are in a quiet neighborhood is the best part.
