Wonderful Stay!!

3 Generations of our family stayed over Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend (all adults). The location was great! I was not familiar with Austin and was so glad to find everything we needed so close! We enjoyed the pool on that HOT weekend and all the amenities offered in the house were outstanding. We appreciated the small details like plenty of towels and even bug spray for those evenings out on the back patio. The neighborhood was quiet and very friendly (dog walkers always greeted us with a friendly welcome). We had a great time and HIGHLY recommend! We very much enjoyed out stay!

Nice stay

Overall we had a great stay and the house worked out very well for us. The only issue we had was related to the garbage disposal usage and the sink not draining. We were not told that we shouldn't put food in the disposal and the sink then backed up and there was a block in the drain. We did lose our deposit as a result which was frustrating as the picture that was sent looked to be more due to long term blockage versus anything recent. The hosts were great to work with otherwise and the set up and location was great!

Minutes from downtown, Zilker Park, Green Belt, tons of bars, restaurants, taco trucks and coffee shops - or if you'd rather relax and grill out in the large backyard with swimming pool, this is the spot to soak in all of Austin! Ample kitchen that's great for cooking too.
