We had a nice stay at this property. It was conveniently located near the University, and checking in and checking out was straight-forward. I expected the area to be noisy at night due to the nearby campus, but was pleasantly surprised that it was actually very quiet during our stay. We did not use the kitchen very much so I cannot comment on that, but overall it was a great fit for us over a weekend visit, especially since we could bring our dog with us.

This is a great property, especially if you’re coming to visit anyone at University of Texas or maybe going to the football game, the location is right on campus and can walk to the football stadium. The property itself is so cute and accessible to everything you need, the hostess was very kind and very accommodating. Would highly recommend this property.
