We truly enjoyed our stay here. The property was very clean with good communication from the management. My biggest complaint would be that the living room sectional sofa was filthy. It is white, so I get it…but it was far past time to have it cleaned or replaced. Red drink or liquid spilled and splashed all over one large section, and just generally dirty with stains and simply dinghy all over. We used every extra bedsheet and pillowcase we could find and covered every cushion and pillow to even feel somewhat comfortable sitting on the sofa. Completely unacceptable! Last, master bathroom while lovely, needs additional privacy screen on part of the smaller windows, as is done on the large window by the tub. Other than that, we would certainly return if the sofa is thoroughly cleaned or replaced.

We had a great time in Austin! This property IS located in a very central area, but do be aware that it is a transitional area. That being said we did not ever feel unsafe, but we did feel we had to be aware. The house is well layed out and has room for everyone! We did have some problems, with the AC in one of the rooms, and surprisingly the primary bathroom doesn’t have any windows coverings?! BUT the communication was awesome and problems were addressed right away. House is modern and fun, but everything is just a “bit” worn…nothing that will interfere with your fun or your stay, but just be aware: again location is awesome and close to everything! You can walk to Rainey street very easily through the river trail! We visited Paper Boy, Phoebe’s, Jeffrey’s, La Barbeque; and so much more!! Would recommend all and they are all close!! Enjoy your trip!

Not worth the money
We were a group of 15 adults in town for a birthday. We were nicked and dimed during our stay. No option for early check in without paying despite the house being empty in the days leading to our check in. The house was stocked with maybe 15 bath towels. We quickly noticed there were no pool towels despite the pool and hot tub located on the property. When we requested more bath towels and pool towels we were told we had to pay. I found that to be absolutely ridiculous considering the thousands of dollars we paid to stay there for 3 nights. You can’t control the AC, it’s set and locked by the management company. The AC actually went out and it was very hot. A repairman came to fix it and must have done so incorrectly because then the heat kept coming on with no way to shut it off. The property manager never offered a solution for this. Overall not worth the money with all the issues we experienced.

6 couples had plenty of room and privacy
This house is a perfect place for couples who each want their own private bedroom (6). Also looks to be great for groups who can share rooms (as several rooms had 2 queen beds). 1 room is the guest house- with a private bedroom and bath. We had a great time using the pool and the kitchen had plenty of supplies. (We would have appreciated a couple umbrellas for shade on the balcony and backyard…but OVERALL The house is exactly as it presents- cute and clean and comfortable! (Great location too!)

Great House in Great Location
The house was a great place for friends/family to hang out in a location close to everything in Austin. It was a perfect place for our group, and we enjoyed the amenities including the pool, video game, and outside space.
The house was exceptionally clean and neat when we checked in. The only exception is that the pool was a bit of a mess. I cleaned a ton of leaves out of the skimmer and kept sweeping leaves out of the pool. Leaves in the pool are inevitable this time of year, but whoever was responsible for the pool didn't know how to clean the skimmer.
