We had such a great time at this house! Process was super easy. The house is close to downtown so our cab rides were so cheap! House is beautifully decorated. Pool was clean & a great hangout, as well as the 3rd floor hangout spot.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for being amazing guests, and we hope you’ll stay with us again!
Walking distance to many hot spots in East Austin, big pool and backyard, spacious bedrooms with plenty of room to hangout in common areas. Communication with host was easy and they accommodated an early checkin for a small fee. Would book the property again or recommend it to a friend
Guest Spaces was extremely easy to work with! Quick responses and eager to help us out! The house was gorgeous and just like the pictures! Super easy to get down town, extremely walkable and felt safe in the area! Great for a large group like a bachelorette party! Would definitely stay with Guest Spaces again!

Thank you so much! So Glad to hear you had an incredible stay with us and we'd welcome you at any of our GuestSpaces properties in the future!
We were thrilled with this property from the moment we walked in the front door. The house is spacious and well equipped. The house is big and each room is furnished with a modern flare. The location is minutes from downtown Austin which worked out perfectly for our itinerary. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub every day of our vacation. Communication with the property manager was outstanding from start to finish. Without hesitation I give this property five stars and we will definitely rent again.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Carmella! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we are so glad you enjoyed our home!
This house did not disappoint! Centrally located to nearby attractions! We were in town for the Pierce the Veil concert at the Moody Center. The food deliver services were easily available. Great communication with hosts. Offered add-ons are available and reasonably priced! The pool was a hit with the family! House was spotless and easy to find! We will definitely be staying in the near future!
