Cute and clean place in a convenient location. Only suggestions - bed was a bit hot and there isn’t much air circulation in the primary bedroom. They provided a fan, but it kept tripping the gfi circuit, Otherwise, great experience.

House was very roomy and nicely decorated. Location was great with easy access to activities, restaurants, clubs and shopping on south congress. Kitchen is not really stocked for cooking and eating in but otherwise the house has most of what is needed. Easy check in and out.

This home was in a good location and the house was clean and nice for our overnight stay and needs. We had some issues with the front door code lock and the host was responsive to that and our other questions. It is a steep uphill climb to the house with bags if you park in the street, but the driveway does go up beside the house.

We had a great stay at the South Congress house! The location is perfect for hitting a lot of the fun Austin restaurants but the neighborhood was still quiet. We were in walking distance of a couple of bars, coffee and food. The beds were comfy and pillows were cozy!

Perfect location

The house was in a great little neighborhood where some houses had been redone, some brand new builds and others that needed a reno. Felt very safe and accessible to everything. Food, I35, peace and quiet.

The property was decorated nicely and the kitchen was well-stocked. There were only a few cons: We found dirty towels hanging in one of the bathrooms. There was not enough comfortable seating for 6 adults in the living room area and one of the bedrooms was an uncomfortable cot style bed.The kitchen was well-stocked. The neighborhood was just okay with about a 10 -15 minute uber ride to where restaurants and bars are. It was not walkable like I had hoped.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Check-in, communication
The check in process started out the stay very disappointing. Address to property was incorrect, followed by an electronic entry that didn’t work. The host and owner didn’t answer the phone for quite some time. Finally got a hold of one of the owners while chatting with VRBO. Had to use alternative key to get in after almost an hour. Once in the owner said a plumber needed to come by to fix a handle at 6:00pm. Very inconvenient around our quick one night stay. Location was semi close to South Congress but more than likely not the parts most would want to be on. Would hesitate to recommend based on our experience.
