Great location

We had a great stay with John in his South Congress location. It was so easy to get downtown, whether you walk it, via Lady Bird Lake walkover located right outside of his neighborhood. The apartment was very clean and ready for the unexpected cold weather that we woke up to on our first night. The bed was comfortable. We made breakfast every morning and found street parking every night we were there. The washer and dryer was the very nice to have and made our decision to stay here this trip and our next one. See you next time John

Austin Film Festival Stay

Beautiful quiet residential neighborhood with easy access to downtown Austin by bus, Uber/Lyft, or walking. We Appreciated the bottled water, coffee, and shower essentials. Found an amazing NYC eyeglass place Moscot within short walk, along with other upscale shops like Hermes. Everything was perfect. Thank you!

Great Location!

The unit is above a detached garage and is the perfect size for 1-2 people. Laundry is in the garage below the unit. I didnt cook anything on this trip but the kitchen seemed functional. The close proximity to south congress and downtown while feeling like you are in a quiet neighborhood is the best part.

Everything you need in a VRBO

This place had everything we were looking for in a VRBO. The location is great. The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood and just a 10-15 minute walk to S Congress and everything that area has to offer. The apartment was very clean and very comfortable for 2 people. The hosts were very accommodating, allowing us to check in early and check out late without issue. We already told them that we're going to stay here again the next time we come to Austin. Definitely would recommend.

A great rental with a SOCO vibe!

Discovered the meaning of SOCO (South Congress) staying in this terrific cozy rental. Met all our needs, including walking up and down steps to this garage apt. entrance. Great for exercise! The owners were super, John taking time to greet us on the first day from his semi-detached house front lawn.Located in a lovely, quiet historic neighborhood, a very short drive to bustling S. Congress. All our drives in the city were 15-20 min… to the museums, Capital bldg, restaurants. Not caught in any traffic gridlock from this location. Highly recommend unless you have difficult climbing a climbing a flight of stairs.

Can’t wait to stay there again!!!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the apartment. The location is excellent (approximately a 1/2 mile to South Congress) and the neighborhood is great for those that enjoy walking. The communication with the property manager was excellent! The written instructions within the apartment were very clear and concise. Overall, our experience was great! We’re looking forward to a return visit!

Great stay in Travis Heights

The apartment is above a detached garage and feels very private. The unit was extremely clean and it was easy to communicate with the owners. Its on a quiet street in Travis Heights within easy walking distance of South Congress. Having access to laundry inside the garage just below the unit is super convenient for a longer trip.

Wonderful!

Such a wonderful place right off South Congress. I came down for a workshop at the Texas School for the Deaf and it was literally less than a mile away. In the evening I could grab dinner and walk around and shop everything. The place was perfect, sooo cute and clean and the owners were so kind and wonderfully accommodating. Will definitely be returning next time.
