House was nice and big, there are no shades on any of the windows, so the house does get really hot. Beautiful space though, clean. Refridgerator was dirty and the upstairs washer also but not huge deals. Bigger deal for me was that they included a damage waiver for 250 that you are unable to remove and is also non refundable, a bit tricky how they sneak that on in

Phenomenal location, gorgeous stay

This house exceeded my expectations. The house was in a great location, very walkable, with a gorgeous view of downtown. The house itself was modern, functional, and full of the little touches you love to see in a VRBO (baskets of throw blankets, board games, a well stocked kitchen). I didn’t reach out to the host during the stay, but they were very communicative prior to check in. I would highly recommend this property.

College Reunion Girls Trip

We loved the house! From day one, we were so comfortable and enjoyed everything it had to offer. The living room is the ideal place to have a glass of wine and catch up. Everyone had their private space in the well-appointed bedrooms. The kitchen has all the amenities needed to create anything from a basic snack to spectacular meals. We ate out most nights but did cook up some really great breakfasts before we ventured out for yoga, hiking, shopping, breweries, restaurants, and live music (and more!). The weather was so-so, and it was nice to get back to this house, which felt like a sanctuary. It doesn't hurt that it is right around the corner from Terry Black's BBQ and El Alma... Don't hesitate to book this gem. Side note - our group had 2 cars and they fit in the (very steep) driveway. It may even fit a 3rd if that is important to your group.

Great Austin spot

The house is very well-maintained, has a great vibe and is in a great part of Austin. Be prepared for the management company to gather info on all adult guests (cell phone, email address, DOB, etc.) and for a cleaning crew to come every morning (around 9am) with a card that says if you don’t let them in, you’ll be charged an extra $100/day.

Fabulous

The communal living area in this house was fabulous. The kitchen, living room and dining room are all open concept creating a perfect gathering spot. The piece de resistance though was the large glass wall in the back with spectacular views of downtown Austin. The elevated deck just beyond the glass was another wonderful spot for gathering. We had 7 family members staying there. You can sleep more, but as in all Austin rentals, there are a couple of bedrooms that are less ideal. One with no windows in the lower level that shares the primary bath and one with pocket doors off the kitchen. But both are still beautifully furnished with comfortable beds. The primary bedroom and bath are huge and dreamy. The location of the house is fantastic. The house sits on a quiet residential street with pretty houses tucked behind businesses. We walked to a wonderful coffee shop called Carpenter each morning and there is a delicious BBQ spot, Terry Blacks, right around the corner. It seemed all our events were less than a mile away. We would highly recommend this rental. If we come back, we’d stay there again.

Spacious, stylish and comfortable home in the heart of Austin

We all loved this house! Our group was 12 friends and family and it was perfect with lots of room to move around and in a fantastic location in walking distance to Terry Blacks and El Alma, two of Austin’s most delicious restaurants! Lady Bird Lake is also in walking distance. The house is comfortable, well appointed and stylish with a gorgeous view from the large back deck. We particularly liked the huge combined living room, dining room and open kitchen which made it easy for us all to spend time together. The kitchen is great for cooking with everything we needed. The beds are very comfortable. The airconditioner worked great during the Texas summer heat. We had a problem with the ice machine and WLVR had bags of ice brought to us the same day, which we really appreciated. It’s really the perfect place for a group in the heart of Austin. Things to note that aren’t clear on the listing: one bedroom downstairs is windowless (but nice and dark and with a big comfortable bed) and another is right off the kitchen, which is potentially loud for someone trying to sleep while others are in the kitchen or living room. There is only one street parking permit for the whole house and the unusually steep driveway only works for one car, which means if you have more than two cars, someone will have to park farther away as street requires a parking permit.

Perfect setting for small team offsite

We are a small corporate team of 7 people and needed a quiet place to work on upcoming team objectives. We needed a big open area, separate bedrooms, and a location central enough in the city to allow us to go out in the evenings for some fun. This house hit all of the criteria, and then some. The house itself is beautiful; the city skyline view, the decorating themes throughout the house, the gourmet kitchen and wet bar, everything was designed to impress at first glance. Everyone on our team, from the president down to the event planner, was impressed! The bedrooms are all well-decorated and comfortable. The outside space is stunning with its views of the city skyline, but not so close to the street as to create any noise. The main living space is perfect for meetings, all the chairs were comfortable and perfectly spaced so that people who wanted to work from the table could work close enough to those who were kicking it on the couches. If we are ever in need for a small team getaway again, we'll be checking availability at the Daniel House first.
