Perfect Location

The house was wonderful and the location was perfect. Walked to restaurants and shopping with ease. Including a photo of the outside because we had a little trouble deciding which house it was when we first arrived. House was exactly as described in the listing. Beds were comfortable and all was very clean. Tip: Go see someone at the Continental Club. We went on Saturday afternoon and really enjoyed it. Love the history.

ACL Weekend Stay

This property and its management are incredible. The online description and pictures were accurate, and any questions that I had before our stay were answered with detail by the property management. I would like to give a special thank you to DeAnna. Prior to our stay, she called and gave advice and recommendations for our ACL plans. She even had hats, water bottles, sunscreen, and other goodies set up for us at the house upon arrival. The house was close enough to ride scooters or walk to Zilker Park for ACL - 10/10!
