Short weekend stay in downtown Austin . Property manager was very helpful and communicative . House was well maintained and provided easy access to restaurants , grocery stores etc
Cute little house located in a quiet neighborhood but still in the city and close to everything! Owner was very accommodating when I had to bring my cat last minute. I will definitely stay here every time I visit Austin
We took a family trip up there. Everyone had a place to sleep. We were close to entertainment. When we did have an issue the management was fast to respond. Would recommend this place.
Very nice home in a quiet safe nice neighborhood. Very comfortable, the kitchen was very nice
Big backyard and fenced in… Would’ve been perfect for our dog. The bed was very comfortable. The shower had good pressure too nice sitting areas with TVs sunny dining room. All the rooms were nice and bright, but you could close the shutters for a good night. Sleep nice neighborhood for walking and.. very close to grocery stores, restaurants clubs that we wanted to go and listen to musicWe enjoyed our three day stay they are very much!
I recently traveled to Austin to help a family member find an apartment and booked this house for our stay and what a gem! The location of the house was in a very cute neighborhood within short distance of everything we needed. The kitchen was clean with a large island and stocked with everything we needed. The bedrooms are very good size and the beds are comfortable. I also loved that it was easily accessible to MoPac with a bonus of not hearing a lot of traffic sound. Our hostess, Katherine, was very accommodating and checked with us to make sure we had everything we needed. If you need a quiet, comfortable and convenient place to stay, this place will be perfect.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Not downtown
The host was lovely, communicative, and helpful. I feel the title of the listing is misleading as it is nowhere near downtown. It's about a 25-30 minute bike ride, not walkable, and 15 min uber. I probably should have looked into it more closely before booking but I went by the title being "downtown oasis." Would definitely rent again if I was exploring greater Austin, but not for SXSW, just too far and there aren't a lot of cafes or grocery stores within walking distance.It was clean, beds were comfy, and kitchen was well-equipped but the floors could have been cleaner (white socks looking grey on the bottoms). I felt there was a lot of "chores" to do before check out.Wasn't the worst but not exactly what I had expected.
The house was perfect for our little family of 5 over a long weekend! The location was great - close to H‑E‑B, great parks, & lots of local restaurants! Katherine, our host, was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay! Highly recommend!
We stayed at this VRBO for almost 3 months while our home was being remodeled. Katherine was always responsive to our requests. We were comfortable during our stay.
We love staying here (also because it’s so close to our old neighborhood). Great for walking, and Kerbey Lane is right nearby! The setup works great for us with the office space right next to the master bedroom. Love the big kitchen island and all the natural light. It’s true what some folks have said about the street parking - it can make things tricky with exiting the driveway - but that’s just life in a small cute neighborhood. Amazing shower/water pressure.
My nieces and their mom stayed with a newborn, and found this house to be just right, thank you,
We lost the cover to my pack n play if someone would let me stop by to pick it up. It’s a gray fabric case.
We were here during an unusual cold snap that saw Texas in below freezing weather. Host was very communicative about what we needed to do to protect pipes, and fixed the hot water heater while we were there so that we had hot water. Thank you!
Ideal location for our work group - close to our headquarters, downtown, shopping, and freeway
The house was great for our stay. It was roomy and well-stocked. Katherine keeps the inside quite clean. My only "less than five" stars were given because the cover picture is not of the outside of the home. The backyard needs maintenance so we didn't go out there. That didn't affect our stay, though. We will definitely stay there again - it was quiet, clean, comfortable, and super convenient. I highly recommend!
I give this home an 11/10. Close to everything, comfortable beds, quiet neighborhood, beautifully furnished and decorated. The pictures do not do this place justice! Owner is very kind and helpful. We stayed 3 nights and will be back! The media room off the master has a sofa and tv plus a desk, which I used to work remotely for 3 days. Kitchen is large and well stocked. Even the couches are super comfortable. Both bedrooms are large. Backyard was great with 2 seating areas. Off street parking in the shade. Laundry room in the home. Large pantry for groceries if you’re staying for a while. Bathroom is spacious and towels were plush. I cannot think of a single thing this home was missing. Highly recommend.

Nice Home
Our family (my husband and I, our toddler, and our two dogs) stayed here for a little over two weeks while our home in Austin was being worked on. The location is amazing. It's literally minutes away from everything. The back yard is excellent, and we spent a lot of time out there playing with the dogs. The neighborhood is swoon-worthy for sure. The home itself is cozy, with enough space for everyone. Our daughter ended up in the little sitting room connected to the master, simply because it's the quietest (and darkest) room in the house. It might not be the most comfortable house in Austin (the sofa has seen better days), but then again, we weren't here for vacation. The owner was exceedingly kind and accommodating, and we were pleased at the end of our stay.

Cozy and comfy central Austin stay!
We recently stayed at the 38th street home. Katherine was wonderful. Always on top of communications and easy to reach though we didn't need to. The home is very comfortable and cozy inside. We travelled with our two kids so the two bedrooms were ample space for us. We appreciated the coolness upon our arrival in very hot late July. The whole home was very clean and smelled good when we walked in each time. The shower was strong and never ran out of hot water -- which was important since we four took several showers a day due to the extremely hot weather! The beds were both comfortable. I always go for a place that has at least one king size bed. The third bedroom is set up as an office with a couch and media center. I guess that couch unfolds to a bed to sleep two more. Note that this is only accessible through the master bedroom. Great for kids staying in there but not for another couple. The kitchen was well stocked, easy to heat up food in and had a wonderful backyard view from the dining table. I thought the cost was better than other places I viewed in the same area. And, we took advantage of being walking distance from our favorite, Kirbey Lane Cafe!!!
