Cute House in a great location

The house was very clean and well appointed and accommodated our group of 7 well. We loved that we could walk to many shops, good restaurants as well as music venues nearby. We could have used some extra towels as they were quite small and didn't manage to find a toaster if there was one but overall great spot and great time in Austin.

Home for the holidays

This is the second Thanksgiving we have stayed at this property. It was perfect for our family. It's well-appointed, nicely decorated, and a two-block walk to South Congress. Everyone spent time together and whoever wanted to shop just walked down the street. We highly recommend booking this property!

Upscale comfortable living in a fantastic location.

The house was warm and inviting with a great sense of style. The amenities were plentiful and we absolutely loved being so close to downtown and just a block from Congress Avenue. The street was so quiet even in its central location. The house has so much living space with large bedrooms, two seating areas inside, a screened in porch, and a backyard with lots of seating. We enjoyed the views of the skyline both night and day. Highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a convenient home in Austin for a larger group or family.

Great house in a great Neighborhood!

We came to town for a National Collegiate Track meet and a few days of soaking in the Austin area. This cute house was lovely, well appointed, comfy spaces to relax and cool off. Walking distance to all the SoCo (South of Congress) shops, bars and restaurants in this fun area, and great to come back to a quiet neighborhood. Easy Uber to the downtown area.

Perfect for fun weekend getaway or ACL, location can’t be beat!

Place looks exactly like the pictures. Great art, plenty of room, decorated so smartly with great books to read in your down time. Modern kitchen with plenty of dishes. Sweet charming Backyard space complete with grill- though we didn’t use it. Plenty of towels and washcloths were laid out, also has a washer and dryer and includes laundry soap. Both bathrooms had plenty of shampoo, conditioner and lotion- even make up removing wipes. AC worked very well during our hot temps stay. Entry and exit locks on the doors were very slick, didn’t have any problems. Location can’t be beat, an inexpensive Uber ride to just about everywhere. This was perfect for our ACL, 40th birthday celebration weekend. Allison was very responsive when we had a couple questions about check out. We would definitely stay at this place the next time we come to Austin!
