Little gem!

I recently traveled to Austin to help a family member find an apartment and booked this house for our stay and what a gem! The location of the house was in a very cute neighborhood within short distance of everything we needed. The kitchen was clean with a large island and stocked with everything we needed. The bedrooms are very good size and the beds are comfortable. I also loved that it was easily accessible to MoPac with a bonus of not hearing a lot of traffic sound. Our hostess, Katherine, was very accommodating and checked with us to make sure we had everything we needed. If you need a quiet, comfortable and convenient place to stay, this place will be perfect.

Not downtown

The host was lovely, communicative, and helpful. I feel the title of the listing is misleading as it is nowhere near downtown. It's about a 25-30 minute bike ride, not walkable, and 15 min uber. I probably should have looked into it more closely before booking but I went by the title being "downtown oasis." Would definitely rent again if I was exploring greater Austin, but not for SXSW, just too far and there aren't a lot of cafes or grocery stores within walking distance.It was clean, beds were comfy, and kitchen was well-equipped but the floors could have been cleaner (white socks looking grey on the bottoms). I felt there was a lot of "chores" to do before check out.Wasn't the worst but not exactly what I had expected.

Sleep nice neighborhood for walking and.. very close to grocery stores, restaurants clubs that we wanted to go and listen to musicWe enjoyed our three day stay they are very much!

Ideal location for our work group - close to our headquarters, downtown, shopping, and freeway

The house was great for our stay. It was roomy and well-stocked. Katherine keeps the inside quite clean. My only "less than five" stars were given because the cover picture is not of the outside of the home. The backyard needs maintenance so we didn't go out there. That didn't affect our stay, though. We will definitely stay there again - it was quiet, clean, comfortable, and super convenient. I highly recommend!

Not Recommended

First, no accurate description of the property, 2nd, send us the rules and regulations after payment made with no refundable. We travel to see our family but come find out they cannot come to the property even just to have dinner with us.. If we should have known we will not stayed here. Text and call the owner but no response until a day or late response. Check in after long hours of driving and see dirty sofa bed and nasty with bird feathers and m&m candy stuck in the sofa bed. Told the owner and she answer that she's not aware that it's been used or dirty. Parking is very tight, so difficult to in and out the driveway, people park in the street almost all the way of the driveway. Not pleased at all with this place. Very trashy looking from outside. Our last day, someone drop a cardboard box with old towel and scissor in it right in front of the door and we are not feel safe there as we don't know what that means. Owner seems like don't care about everything we told her. Goodluck to the next renter
