Great location
Walking to all the fun on South Congress was great. One parking spot off the street. The house is next to a school, which was not in session at the time of our visit. I imagine parking and noise level may be different during the school year. Value for space (3 br) and amenities provided was good. If you’re looking for a SoCo house rather than hotel, I would recommend this option.

Retro Cowboy Weekend!
We absolutely adored the decor in Retro Cowboy. It was so fitting for our fun weekend in Austin with family. We had cozy nights in a fun nights out on the town. Only flaw was that my cousin was not able to bring her ESA dog so she was unable to come stay with us. However 5 stars nonetheless !! and
