Disliked: Location
Well stocked for our stay, clean, and prepared. Centrally located to downtown, close to trendy bars. Wonderful fenced courtyard w fire pit and grill. Complaints: The beds were sub par with thin mattresses, and creaky beds. Surrounding Street was sketchy with vacant houses, homeless presence, and broken down cars. Mattresses and trash piled on the sidewalks and alley. Alley and entry parking was extremely tight.

Great Spot, Loved the outdoor area

The house was comfortable and the outdoor area with fire pit was awesome. Host communication was great. Do pay attention to the instructions for getting there as the street address takes you to an adjacent property.

Fun Location

We enjoyed being able to walk to a number of bars and restaurants. The property worked great for us. It was a little different accessing the property from the alley instead of the street, but it worked just fine.

Nice place

Everything about this place was nice. The only issue was the parking since it’s in an ally, it was hard to get into and only room for one vehicle. You have to park on the side street and walk.

Great stay!

House was clean and perfect size for me and my daughter! Convenient location in a safe neighborhood. A couple of things to consider: like other reviewers mentioned, house is only accessible through a back alley and driveway is just a little tight. Also, only TV is downstairs in the living room. Still would recommend and would stay here again!

Once we found the rather hidden location and conquered the challenges of parking in the narrow space, we were pleasantly surprised by the rest of the property. The house was very comfortable and just right for the 3 of us, older couple and adult son. The two bedrooms each had their own private bathroom upstairs, and a half-bath downstairs. The yard was an excellent feature, especially for the lovely Austin fall weather. Private and quiet, surrounded by high fench. The front yard had a firepit (shown in the photo), a spacious side yard with hammock, and a great space at the back with table and relaxing seats on a patio next to the propane grill. There was also a small covered porch at both the front and back doors. We very much enjoyed our stay at this property.The security deposit was a surprise. Be sure to inquire about it.

Gem in convenient East Austin!

This property was soooooooo cute! We loved the outdoor space - especially the fire pit as we had some cool evenings! East Austin has a lot to offer within walking distance. It’s a very up and coming area. You can walk to Rainey St./downtown from here, safely, in about 40 minutes. The communication with the owner was excellent. Ubers were easily had from the home as well. We loved our long weekend in this rental! Book ASAP and enjoy Austin!

Girls weekend

Overall, the place was good. The inside was as pictured, the beds were comfortable, and the inside was clean. The owner was super responsive and helpful. The location was close to a lot of cool places to eat and shop. It was a bit tight for 5 people to hang out downstairs, probably better for 4 or less people. We couldn’t park in the garage as there was furniture and boxes in it, so some of us had to park on the street. The outside was not quite as manicured as the pictures show. Overall, a nice stay and we enjoyed it.

Wonderful home!

The house was very comfortable, spacious and nicely decorated.. The beds and pillows were excellent and everything felt very clean. The yard area was very nice but we didn’t use it since it was very hot and humid but we would like to come back and enjoy it in cooler months. The neighborhood was great with lots of nearby coffee, breweries and restaurants and it was within walking distance. We also rented bikes for a day and ride along the river path. My only comment would be that the kitchen was not equipped with things I have had at other properties I have stayed at such as coffee, tea, seasonings etc… so if you plan on cooking and eating at home you would need to pick up these items however we went out everyday so this was not an issue for us. I would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Austin! A fabulous stay!

Good jumping off point for E Austin

The property itself was a little tricky to find at night (down a side street) but the location was great for the occasion (wedding activities around East Austin). We came on an exceptionally cold weekend and the house was warm and had no issues. Super clean.

Eastside, centrally located, charming home

We loved our stay near the University. Close to everything, walkable to fun, east side pubs, coffee cafes and dining. The house is located in the back of a large 2 home lot with its own rear street entrance. Home was very well appointed! Perfect for 2, no more than 4. Each bedroom has its own lovely bathroom, great water pressure. Cute working kitchen though we only utilized the fridge, there are so many excellent & diverse choices of restaurants to choose from! Loved the large couch for curling up on while watching movies on the big screen TV. Great outdoor area, compared to most, though unfortunately residential areas can be prone to mosquitos, so don’t forget the outdoor spray. Only complaint was that the outdoor garbage cans were tightly packed, over the brim, and never emptied. Great house, would definitely rent again!
