Great for a Girls Weekend!!

This property was even better than the pictures! So much space for all of our group to sleep comfortably and to hang out on our one night in. It’s super close to downtown, so catching Ubers to anywhere we needed to be was easy and quick. The hosts were super communicative and helpful throughout the entire stay and even after as we are trying to retrieve a lost item. They was also super helpful with recommendations before our stay as well. Would definitely recommend and stay here again and again for any trips to Austin!

Cancelled at the last minute

We were unable to stay at this property, as our reservation was cancelled the morning of the confirmed booking. I had not received an access code, so I called VRBO's call center. After 1 1/2 hours on the phone with the call center, I learned that the property owner had not maintained their VRBO calendar and had double booked the property, We were denied access to the property.
