Please note that we do live in an area by a creek that runs along our backyard and our neighbors do have chickens. Despite our best efforts including paying for pest control monthly and setting traps there are times in the house a cockroach or two may scurry in. We do leave insect spray as well. Austin is notorious for having cockroaches that hard to get rid of - a simple search on the internet will reveal that. We like to be upfront so there are no surprises - it is not an issue of cleanliness but of Austin being in a humid climate.

Excellent stay for Formula 1!
We loved our stay here! My husband and I traveled for the formula 1 race with some family friends. It was a perfect location - close to South Congress area, not too far from Circuit of the Americas, and near downtown. We loved how easy it was to get anywhere. Backyard was beautiful and the house was cleaner than any rental I have stayed at. Owner was reachable and responsive.
We also really enjoyed using the kitchen! Only complaint is a lack of a couch/sitting area that could fit all six of us besides the kitchen table.

Authentic South Austin oasis
This is a lovely house that has been fully updated and has all of the conveniences. I was born and raised in South Austin, and this house felt like home to me. The backyard with pool, BBQ grill, and access to Bouldin creek was amazing. I gave it 5 stars for everything but cleanliness only because the outdoor spaces are authentic TX with lots of plant, bug, and bird life, so if you're looking for a sparkling clean, sterile patio, this is not for you. But if you want a real Austin experience, it's perfect. And the inside of the house was sparking clean. The hosts were also rapidly responsive to my questions and make a clear effort to ensure their guests are relaxed and comfortable. There's a full spice rack and coffee station with to go cups in the fully stocked kitchen, so no worries if you forgot the coriander...There's first aid supplies, so if your kid scrapes her elbow (as mine did), there's peroxide, antibiotic ointment and bandaids. If you forgot the bug spray or sunblock, it is provided. Even with my high maintenance kids, I never had to run out to the store to pick up something, which is unheard of in my travels, and was infinitely relaxing. Whatever you need...the house provides : ) I cannot recommend this house enough!!!
