We had a wonderful stay at South River City. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. The location was in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood and yet very convenient (walking distance) from shops and great places to dine. The host was friendly and helpful in making our stay a great experience.

Safe and convenient stay close to SOCO and downtown Austin

We stayed here for a couple weeks during SXSW. John was super responsive and even had some welcome treats in the unit when we arrived. Very nice neighborhood and pretty quiet for the city. The bed was a bit firm for our tastes but not bad. It was veryeasy to walk to many places.

Cute neighborhood stay

Jon and Kate were (are!) wonderful hosts. The apartment is perfectly located in a quaint neighborhood of Austin, walking distance to Congress and Lady Bird Lake. I felt like I was living in a tree house, the property has a lovely tree canopy for optimal shade on hot days. Thank you again!
