Aww, thanks so much for the kind words Seth! It was so great hosting you. Please come back anytime :)
The location is walking distance to UT. This is great for people visiting the campus or going to a game. It is also walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, and stores.

One of the best spots to stay near the game AND you get free parking! Thanks so much for the review Gabriella!
Although this is just off campus and near the greek row, we found it relatively quiet and certainly clean amd safe. House 4 friends in comfort. The bathrooms could be updates but beds were comfortable and it has all the ammenities

So happy to hear that you enjoyed the location and comfort of our space. It was a pleasure hosting you!
This place was the perfect fit for my family. Coming to see a concert at the movie center. The location was absolutely amazing. Parking was super easy in the garage. There was tons of space, great beds, in an awesome neighborhood. The host was super attentive, and we were even able to book an earlier check-in time! Definitely a great place to stay in downtown Austin/West campus area!

Thank you so much Zach! So glad you enjoyed the location, parking, beds etc! Hope to have you back soon.
Perhaps this is intended to be a youth hostel type accomodation for visiting college students as it was clearly put together, outfitted and furnished as cheaply as possible and needs much attention. Paint overspray everywhere, broken tiles and dirty bathtubs/showers combined with a really invasive communication process loaded with mutiple upsell attempts but nothing guest centric

Thank you for the feedback Anjali. We do have many happy guests here who come because it is so close to many great things in Austin, including the university. I appreciate the feedback and will definitely address these concerns. Best of luck in your future travels.
Nice enough place, but spiral staircase is an issue for tall folks hitting their head.
Easy to communicate with representative who was quite responsive, which I really appreciate.
Early check in, late check in all come with a cost, which is not typical but I got frustrated that when I asked for late check out (flights home changed) from needing to leave at 1 instead of 11 I was denied even being willing to pay fee. Mind you, check in is 4 so us leaving at 1 should not have been a problem for the new occupants. We were stuck wheeling our luggage around town!
Like I said, good place but that is my suggestion for better accommodating guests who just spent just shy of $1600.
Property was absolutely disgusting. It was completely different than pictured. They offered to clean after I complained which isn’t enough. The property should be clean before arrival. I cannot emphasize how much of a disappointment this entire stay was. Dirt/debris under beds and couches, counters were not clean, bathroom mirrors were not clean, there was MOLD, vents had months worth of dust, other vents were rusted, walls did not even go to the floor, the floors were uneven, ice machine did not work, etc. the list could go on for DAYS. Management was responsive but absolutely 0 help. Management also lied on two different occasion. Would not recommend to my biggest enemy.

I'm so sorry that this was your experience Isabella. This was in October 2024 and this has been all fixed since then. We do want to ensure that there was never any mold in the apartment. We do wish you the best.

ANTS! & difficult TV
In the bathroom off the kitchen, the tub had an infestation of ants. We were unable to use that bath. The rest of the unit "appeared" clean, except the floor was filthy as evidenced by white socks turning black on the bottom!
The television is VERY difficult to maneuver and for a college football weekend that was unacceptable. I tried to communicate with management to no avail.
The low score for check in relates to the fact that the entry code will not arrive until exactly 4:00 check in. The unit is sitting there empty and we sat in the street waiting. Really?

Hey Janis, thank you for your feedback. We did not receive any messages from you regarding any ants and we checked the property after you left and did not find any signs of ants or other pests. We would have happily resolved that for you if you had notified us directly. Also, we do not advertise or offer cable TV at our properties, but we do offer plenty of streaming services including Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+. We also offer early-check in options if a 4:00PM check-in does not work for you.
