The place, the host and the location were all amazing!! We came into town for the UT/A&M game and we were able to easily walk to the stadium. 10/10 totally would recommend staying here!!!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The property is very centrally located, very comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The communication with Zoe was easy and we did not have any issues. There is parking at the back, and we were able to keep the car at the property and walk around for most of the time. We will definitely be back next time we are in Austin
