Sep 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great Stay in a Spacious Home, Wonderful Host!Our family really enjoyed our stay here! Thank you to Dan and his wife who are incredibly kind, understanding, and always responsive. We noticed an issue with one of the lights (which honestly didn’t bother us), the host arranged for it to be fixed right away, explaining that it was a security concern and they wanted us to feel safe. That attention to detail meant a lot. We also needed to extend our stay last minute and the host took care of it promptly, making the process stress-free. The house itself is spacious, clean, and packed with amenities. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking, which made meals at home easy. Our little one loved the garden, playing outside or just watching the squirrels in the trees was a highlight! Having a TV in every room came in handy, everyone could pick their favorite shows without any arguments.The location was perfect: easy access to everything Austin has to offer, and if you like to walk, it’s a safe area with friendly neighbours. Highly recommend this property for a comfortable, homely, and enjoyable stay! ##### Dee Y. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela B.

Really, it was just right for us as we were coming from New England to visit family in Austin; this home was close to all kinds of great places to eat, plus a pretty walking path to a free pool, and quick routes to hill country and downtown. Definitely would stay here next time I’m visiting my son and grandchildren! ##### Laurie Z.
