The house was perfect for our four day visit to Austin! The location was a 17 minute walk to South Congress and so close to downtown and the walking trails along the river. The house was equipped with everything anyone would need and there were clear instructions for check in and check out. We would definitely stay there again!

Very clean and comfortable stay. One drawback was there was no fenced yard as advertised. I look for that since I travel with my 2 dogs. The location was wonderful close to downtown .

Clean and comfortable. Nice beds, good shower.
Two couples stayed two nights, and we were very comfortable. We didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen appeared to have everything needed to do so. Convenient location. Took Lift to downtown Houston for about $6. Would stay again

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm pretty sure the $6 Lyft ride to "downtown Houston" must have been a Lyft ride to downtown Austin :) But the point is, DT is very accessible from the home. We'd love to have you visit again any time!
