Fantastic property!! Very clean, extremely comfortable beds and bedding!!! Great location! House was stocked with everything we needed and we really enjoyed sitting in the backyard for hours! It was a great location and close to everything! We were in town for a swim meet at UT. I would stay here again.

Loved the location as it is right next to several AMAZING food trucks and YUMMY ice cream :) Overall the house was clean, but the couch bed had dirty sheets, stains, and cigarette burns. The house had a musty smell that we got used to. The backyard was nice and big for the area. It was nice to get ice cream and sit out back and visit. A nice weekend and a good location!

Thank you for the feedback. I’m glad the location and backyard worked well for your weekend. I apologize for the condition of the pull-out couch and the musty smell—that’s not the experience we aim to provide. I’ve shared your notes with our housekeeping and maintenance teams so the bedding and upholstery will be cleaned or replaced, odors addressed, and our no-smoking policy reinforced. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to host you again at Austin East Side Charmer- SLATX.

Easy access

Great little house with lovely renovation. Communication was easy. The driveway was a bit hard during peak traffic hours, but we made that work easily. Overall, it was a great experience.

Family, Food and Football

We came to town to visit our daughter who moved here in March. Her Alma mater was playing the home team and we thought it would be a great opportunity to spend time together. This home had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Kitchen was nicely appointed, outdoor space was a great place to pre-game and beds were comfortable when it was finally time ti crash. Great restraints nearby.
