Great till it wasn’t
Property is spacious and easily accommodated our 10 guests. Problem was as soon as we opened he door there was a strong horrible smell in the house and we couldn’t figure out what it was. We immediately alerted the property management company and went to the store to buy candles and air freshener. By the end of the night, we figured out the smell was coming from the closet in the master bedroom. When we open the door, the smell almost knocked us over. There was some sort of dead animal in the house And nothing we could do about it. The property management company said that they were going to try to get an exterminator to come, but weren’t able to at the last minute. All in all we still had a fun trip, but the owner was not willing to reimburse us for the unexpected issues that we incurred on the property. I think anyone would agree that having to smell a dead animal in the house is a game changer.

Plenty of privacy with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths still has spacious common area.
In town with grandmas for college event and ceremony at St Edwards. Very clean, nice decor and comfortable beds. Private bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms. Neighborhood isn’t the best but was quiet and very convenient to I-35 and SEU. Had plenty of dish soap trash bags and household items so we had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Would stay again!

Well-priced rental during ACL Music Fest
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!

Relaxing Space
A couple of friends and I were staying here for the week, some of us were working during our stay so it was a great space to come back to and each have our own bed and room to destress after a long day.
