Inside is clean but needs attention to details
The inside of this house was very clean and the bedrooms were spacious. Much of the furnishings are new, and the bathrooms and kitchen have been renovated. The owners were excellent in communicating with us. The house needs some attention to detail: there are no coverings on the bathroom windows, the showers have partial stall walls that allow the bathroom floor to get wet, and the outdoor furniture was too dirty to use on our weekend of beautiful weather.

Looks Nice but has Problems
The area is safe and mostly quite , except for the Rooster next door! It is Texas. The house was clean and when there were problems, management was quick to respond… I had asked about cookware since there were 7 of Us and one frying pan was not enough. Within an Hour there was a New set at the door. The door to the master bedroom, would stick when closed, it was really hard to open and made a lot of noise doing so.. the room across from the door wouldn’t stay shut. And then we had a leak in the upstairs bathroom that led to water leaking into the kitchen. The patio and balconies were pretty filthy and hadn’t been cleaned in a while.

Affordable rental for group trip
Great price for this rental, even during ACL Music Festival. It is in a good central location between the airport and the rest of town. The neighborhood itself isn't the best - but I think the price reflects that. Just be sure to do your research and know where exactly it is that you'll be staying.
We were able to rent this property and one owned by Portoro Homes up the road, so it was nice to have our two groups close together.
Portoro Homes made it easy for me to book this on behalf of my crew - I emailed them direct with questions and got a response almost immediately. Communication through the app wasn't as reliable, but I'd prefer email anyway.
Overall, I'd book this rental again!

Not what it seems
Pros: it has the amount of rooms it states, and the pool table was a plus (the only good thing about the place). It’s also 10-15 min from all downtown stuff. AC works.
Cons: the neighborhood is sketchy looking. Not somewhere you feel safe walking your dog if you bring them. There’s a reason why there’s no pictures of the outside of the property. The backyard looks abandoned. Broken wood and trees in the back. There’s 1 grimy chair in the backyard, and the patio in the balcony and the backyard are covered in what looks like 20 years of dust. It’s gross. It’s a “no smoking” property but there were cigarette buds ALL over the front of the house and the backyard. And a tray full of cigarettes. The inside of the house wasn’t much better. Crumbs all over the stair case, spider webs on the decorations and tables. Cockroaches climbing into our bags from the room. Everything looks like it’s falling apart. The doors literally look like they’re falling off the hinges, corners of the stairs and flooring all torn apart, mystery clear goo on the sink faucet, toilet paper holder falling off the wall, towels are all stained. Pillows are horrible. The whole place looks like cheap ikea showroom. If you touch the tables too much they’ll fall over. Communication is an automated messaging system, so no help. They wouldn’t allow us to check in early because they were “cleaning”, wouldn’t even allow us in the house 15 min early to use restrooms. GROSS place falling apart. We’re an easy going group

Roomy and Beautiful
The bathrooms looked newly remodeled and had great showers with nice soap and shampoo. The beds were comfortable. The pool table and ping pong was a lot of fun but we also used the table for dinner. It’s a great house I would definitely recommend.

Nice people, but property needs work
We enjoyed our stay, but it seems like the property is really being beat up by other renters. It could use some attention (and may already have received it, what do I know?)
While we were there, the kitchen faucet was leaking, the dishwasher was out of service, and there were water issues because of the showers’ designs.
The kitchen is very minimally stocked, so plan for that.
Saw one roach inside, not that the place was dirty, but they’re around.

Perfect for Business Trip
The communication was excellent, the house was spotless! Perfect setup for a business trip. Pool table was the highlight after a long day's work. Wish there would have been a gas grill, and a few more kitchen necessities; but overall a good stay.

Group trip to Austin
We had a big group going to Austin for funeral. The house was in a good location close to downtown and other places where we were going during the weekend. The house was stocked with coffee, towels, tp, kitchen equipment, etc. The host responded very quickly to our few emails we sent. Its nicely decorated and was easy to find. We would rent here again. Just shut the bedroom door in the king bedroom upstairs so you don't hear the rooster in the morning! lol Thank you for everything!
