Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The home is comfortable and inviting with all the amenities needed for a stay in the city. Located close to many restaurants and the University. Highly recommend a stay here.
The first floor apartment was clean and comfortable. Location was convenient for our visit to UT. Reserved street parking was available near the front entrance. The "West Campus" neighborhood is densely populated, but still quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed our 4-night stay. Communication with owner was excellent.

Dear Heath,
Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad to hear that our team was helpful during your stay.
Upon receiving your concerns about the AC, we immediately offered to accommodate you at a nearby property on the same night, but you chose to remain in the unit. We also provided a portable fan to help make your stay more comfortable. After your checkout, the AC was promptly rechecked and confirmed to be working properly to ensure a comfortable stay for future guests.
To clarify, the other concerns mentioned do not reflect the actual condition of the property during the stay.
We're proud Austinites with a passion for sharing the heart of our city from its legendary music and vibrant food scene to its rich history.
