We had a great stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of space for our group. The backyard was definitely our favorite part. We spent a lot of time hanging out on the deck and really enjoyed the cowboy pool and fire pit.The location was also really convenient. It was easy to get to South Congress, Zilker, downtown, and everything else we wanted to do while we were in Austin.Check-in was simple, and Tommy was very responsive whenever we had a question. The house had everything we needed and we felt right at home during our stay.Would definitely stay here again next time we’re in Austin!
