Our family stayed in the house for our son’s graduation and the space and location were perfect! The home is updated and had everything we needed for your stay. The beds are comfortable and they even provided shampoo, conditioner, body wash and coffee!

The house was very clean and well appointed. It was in a good neighborhood that was close to downtown, S. Congress and Lamar. Many restaurants to choose from within close proximity. The owner was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. The only thing I would mention is to watch out when backing out of the driveway - it has a big curb and kind of tricky to back out onto Oltorf.

great location
We had a great time in Austin with friends and family. The house was centrally located and had easy access to everything we wanted to do in Austin. There is convenience store in walking distance and a brand new HEB about a mile away. All the basics that you need are provided and the beds were comfortable.

Austin weekend with family.
Great place and easy location! Communication was wonderful! It is on a busier street. The home just needs more seating for 8 in the living room, a more substantial coffee table, a less slouchy couch, and a couple more night stands. Otherwise, just what we needed.

Perfect house for family getaway
We stayed here for my daughter’s graduation from UT Austin and this house was perfect for our group. The 4 bedrooms and 3 baths gave everyone enough space, the queen size beds and nice sheets were comfortable and the open kitchen & living room was perfect for meals and hanging out. It’s on a busy street and a little tricky to get out of the driveway and also tricky for Ubers to pick up, but we figured it out. Loved that we could walk to a brewery and another day took a great walk down to Lady Bird Lake.

The perfect house close to everything
We were a group of 8 girls for a bachelorette trip and we could not have been more impressed with the house. The interior was so cute and the location was an 8 minute Uber ride away from literally anywhere we wanted to go. The host was very communicative and helpful with whatever we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Great area to take a nice walk in the morning. Spacious house with quaint back yard to just sit and enjoy the afternoon. Plenty of room for everyone whom joined us. This is located within walking distance for coffee in one direction and the brewery in the other. In addition, minutes from great restaurants within driving distance.

Lovely home of South Congress in Austin
We had a wonderful time in Austin and the house was very comfortable. The listing stated that the home was dog friendly and the inside was definitely great for our dogs. The only thing is the back yard was not completely fenced in and the house is on a rather busy street. Fortunately my husband is quite handy and was able to secure the backyard with a quick trip to Home Depot. The kitchen was spacious and the air-conditioning worked great. Bathrooms and bedrooms are quite spacious with comfortable beds.
