Great Austin Home

Lovely Austin home. We stayed here while visiting our son for Thanksgiving. Great location - close enough to South Congress and close to walking trails and parks. Beautiful back yard with lovely porch. We'll stay here again as we visit Austin a couple times a year.

Top Notch Rental

Lovely home! Great neighborhood/location. Within walking distance to all things S Congress. Well maintained and clean property. Wonderful lay out + great outdoor space. Made for a perfect fit for our girls weekend! Staff was responsive. Kitchen nicely equipped with items one might need. Felt pampered. Highly recommend!

Absolutely Wonderful

Great location! We felt very safe and neighborhood was very walkable. Close to everything fun which meant not a lot of time in the car getting to the different venues. House was perfect! Big enough that we were not crowded but felt warm and homey. Would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful home

Beautiful home that was fully stocked and had lots of space. It was walking distance from the south congress district which was very convenient. Only complaint was that the host responses were extremely delayed or they did not respond to my messages at all. Overall we are happy with our stay.

The house was great and the amenities were awesome, well stocked ; location was perfect but the floors sb cleaner dusting them isn’t enough . The outside was lovely but definitely not maintained cobwebs , dirt… cleaning should include the outside . The entrance had cobwebs at front door on side panel.

Great home

This house was nicely furnished and comfortable. Great space for a family and included all the necessary items for a short stay. The house is starting to show some wear but was very comfortable. Also, there was a high chair and pack n play there - wish that had been posted because we rented one from a local service.

Very mixed review

Excellent location, quality built and nicely decorated - lovely back porch with swing. Well equipped kitchen and everything we needed/tried did work. They need to buy a wine opener - the only one we found was old and didn't work well.Only the 1 large bedroom has private large bath. But the bahroom downstairs has a tub/shower combo.I sent a very direct question BEFORE BOOKING to the management regarding feathers and/or down because I am allergic to both. They stated that all pillows were made of foam. The pillows on the bed I slept on were not feather or down but they are awful pillows. Unusually high and round and not comfortable.More importantly, the entire sofa in the living room on the first floor is made of feathers. All the throw pillows downstairs and upstairs sofa are also feather. I sat in the room for about an hour before realizing and developed symptoms right away i was sick the whole weekend with the allergic reaction I would've avoided had I been told. I contacted management multiple times while they "checked" with the owners. I received an apology

Great House, Great Location

We stayed here while in Austin for our son’s wedding. Location is great! Close to downtown and restaurants on Congress Street. Neighborhood is safe and quiet. Our only complaint was that the keypad on the front door worked to unlock the door but not lock it when leaving the house. I notified the management company about the problem shortly after our arrival and was told where to find a key for the door. I would hope the lock has been repaired by now, but if not I recommend supplying more keys as it was inconvenient to only have one key for 4 guests. This problem aside, our stay was wonderful and we would stay here again.

Great House

The house is great, laid out nicely with the living room down and bedrooms up. Easy short walk to South Congress bars and shopping. The main negative for me was the check in. We knew the house keeper had come and gone, and I was told once they left and the house was ready, I would get a text. The home was ready and no text. 4:00 is a very late check in and 10:00 is a very early check out so keep that in mind if you get in early or have a later departure day of. Otherwise the house itself is great.

One of the Worst and Unclean Experiences Ever!

There is a total lack of communication from the property owner and the guest. I sent an email regarding early check in and heard nothing. The property managers call center which is out sourced out of the country could care less about anything that is going wrong. The house was filthy with dead bugs in the master bed and pubic hair. There was also many stains on the furniture as well as female stains on the bed sheets. There were numerous roaches we saw inside the home downstairs. The back yard is a complete joke. Do not count on using it as they have not cleaned it in several months. A horrible experience I would not wish on anyone.
