Fantastic weekend in Austin!

Fantastic place to stay in Austin- such a great part of town and a clean house with everything you could need. My family (wife and 3 kids under 4) loved it, and we will book it again in the future!

Great neighborhood; close to so much!

We enjoyed our 4 nights at this home. It’s a great value for the proximity it offers to downtown Austin and the University. Very quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room. The communication with the property manager was awesome.

Great Location

The property is conveniently located near many attractions and very affordable nightly rate. However, the exterior could use some attention, and the interior shows significant signs of wear and tear. If you're looking for a budget-friendly spot just to rest your head with some college buddies, this could work. However, if you're planning a stay with a loved one, you might want to consider other options. The property manager is very professional and attentive.

Comfortable home in safe neighborhood

* Home is in a nice, quiet, safe neighborhood with off-street parking in the driveway. Has large, fenced backyard. It’s comfortable & decorated nicely. * Fully stocked kitchen, including pots, pans, dinnerware, cutlery, coffee, creamer, filters, tea & MORE! * The bedrooms both have box fans, for those who like the hum while sleeping. Also, one bedroom has a ceiling fan. * Desk area & WiFi, for anyone needing to get any work done. * Nice selection of music CDs & a stereo system, & a TV in the living room. * The bathroom was stocked with towels, soap, toilet paper, etc. My ONLY complaint would be that there’s NO CURTAIN covering the bathroom shower window, & it’s not frosted/privacy glass; just a regular, clear, see-through window IN THE SHOWER. I’d recommend covering that with a simple tension rod & curtain. The pictures in the listing DO show the window, but I hadn’t noticed when booking. * Comfortable affordable home in convenient area. Would stay again.

Great location!

Great location in a great neighborhood with a nice patio & backyard! House is a little run down and not well appointed, but it was quiet and felt safe.

Comfortable home in quiet neighborhood

We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay at an affordable price. The neighborhood is beautiful and friendly. The location was ideal near the Barton Creek Greenbelt, restaurants, and downtown. The property manager was very responsive via email. The kitchen water pressure is low and the shower head and tub faucet water situation could be improved, but all worked. We enjoyed our stay.

Austin during the blackout of 2021

This home is in an older neighborhood that is rapidly gentrifying. Homes were being torn down and rebuilt everywhere around us. This is an older home ‘with character’. The cost of the rental relative to the utility of the home and aesthetics of the home and neighborhood was a good value. Another reviewer complained about the smell and the bed. We didn’t notice any smell. The bed was firm, which some people like, some don’t. The location is excellent. The neighborhood was quiet with mostly families. The Barton creek greenbelt is a short walk away and has good trails for walking, trail running or even mountain biking. If you have bikes you can easily ride to Zilker park and the trails along Lady Bird Lake. We booked the home for 3 weeks in Feb 2021 to get out of the cold. When we arrived, we noticed a very slow (basically clogged) drain in the bathtub and an empty propane tank for the grill. We contacted Sean, the property manager and he had a plumber at the property the same day and got the propane tank swapped out with a full one. Well done Sean! We were ‘working remotely’ during this time. The internet service at the house was good, we had no problems working remotely. The TV has an antenna input and also has Netflix. I used an HDMI adapter to connect my computer to the TV so we could watch content streamed to my computer. (There is not much available through the antenna input). The 6” snow event, cold temperatures and statewide power blackouts started on 2/15/21 when we were there. We recognized this event was a bad situation and we decided to leave on 2/16 to return to home. Sean graciously provided a refund for the days that we had booked but didn’t stay due to the blackout. Sean was responsive and displayed real integrity throughout our interactions.

Perfect for our stay

My son and I were in town for a funeral. This lovely home was inviting and cozy. The neighborhood is gorgeous and conveniently located. I'd love to return and spend more time to enjoy it!

Great house in a quiet neighborhood

My friends and I stayed at this place for Austin City Limits. The house has great vibes, is walking distance from Zilker Park, and is filled with interesting artwork. We found it to be a great place to relax after a long hot day in the sun. We would definitely consider renting this place again.

This was our first time renting a home and we really enjoyed it.

This was our first time renting a home and we really enjoyed it. We loved the comfort and cozyness of the home along with the full furnished kitchen and barbecue pit. We prefer the comfort of this home instead of a hotel room and plan to rent again in the future.

Good things...hot water and air conditioning. Not so good...musty smell and very bad bed.

I’ve stayed in 5 different houses in Zilker Park and have expected an older house as opposed to a modern/up to date place. Generally I have been satisfied but not this time. Sadly this was the most disappointing experience I have had. The air conditioning system and hot water were fine...but there was a musty smell to the place that was not pleasant. The furniture is old and in need of a deep cleaning or even better...replacement. There were two beds ...the king size bed was ok but the other bed was horrible. The mattress was lumpy and thin and too big for the frame (which seemed on the verge of collapse). It creaked and sagged....didn’t get much sleep. There were no instructions and when I contacted the owner to request instructions I was told that none could be provided. Overall, a very uncomfortable abode and certainly not worth the price paid. Given the cost and disappointing experience I’ve decided to stay in a hotel the next time I am in the Ziker Park area of Austin.
