Theater location

Location of property was great for what we were doing for the week. My son was in a Lyric performance and we live out of town. Property is in short walking distance to theater.The freezer had not been cleaned out of contents apon arrival and the stove temperature panal had food debris. The uninvited roach guest was not a plus either on the two occasions i saw him. Pretty sure the the listing said Smart TV but once there instruction book said only DVD and Firestick. It would not change out of DVD mode. I messaged owner and was told to sign in my Amazon. Couldn't get that far. So no TV the whole week. Decor, location are good. Just needed more attention to detail of cleaning and pest control.

Perfect 1 night stay

We really enjoyed the charm and character of this VRBO. The host was so kind to set up the extra twin mattress for us and we appreciated the snacks since we were traveling with two kids. We only stayed one night but almost wished we had a little more time at this beautiful studio VRBO!

Fun one night stay

The Goldfish Loft is a unique and beautiful place to stay in Brownwood. We were there one night for a collegiate sport event and were charmed with our experience. The rental is very well appointed and within walking distance to great shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend it if you find yourself looking for a place to stay in Brownwood TX.

We love staying at the Goldfish Loft. Everything is perfect, and it has the cutest decor. The snacks are so appreciated because there are always two teens with us. It’s our home away from home where we come to visit our son at college.

Cool Property!

It was a very cool property in the heart of downtown Brownwood. Walking distance to all kinds of shops and restaurants in an up and coming small Texas town! The loft was well done with a lot of nice touches. The deli next door is quaint and has awesome food. Other than a few trains in the distance it was very quiet and peaceful despite being downtown. I will stay there again in the future!

Superb accommodation in every way

This downtown "city loft" style space was above and beyond what I expected might be available in Brownwood, TX and a wonderful value. First, the location is perfect for anyone preferring to be in the central part of town. It's located on the street level just a block from City Hall and adjoins a delicious and fabulous place called "Steves' Market and Deli," which is run by the loft's hosts, Steve and Steve. These guys are the absolute best and know everything about what is happening around town. Pop in next door for a coffee or lunch--it's a must do. You are also a super short walk from other very good dining and entertainment options. Second, the loft itself is the size of 2-3 normal hotel rooms and has a kitchen which comes stocked with everything you need to cook and a premium/gourmet coffee service set-up. The space is beautifully appointed throughout and has a great bed/linens. Despite the downtown location, noise was never an issue because city-center Brownwood isn't loud and felt very safe to walk around even after dark. The bathroom was wonderful and spacious with a great shower and bath products. All in all, I had a fantastic stay and recommend it to anyone without any hesitation ... this is without a doubt the single best "high end" accommodation in the greater Brownwood area.
