This place was perfect for us. Clean, comfortable, and great location. We were able to walk almost everywhere in the Central and DT Austin area. Highly recommend this property to all travelers.
Wow! Is the best way to describe this home. Perfectly located to all the fun and walkable to Franklin BBQ.
Came with family for birthday weekend. The home was emasculate. Huge kitchen where we made breakfast our first morning. Enjoyed the second floor patio on the evening for a nightcap.
Our host went over and beyond at checkin. Happen to run into her and welcomed us with open arms.
We plan on coming back next year and will for sure be booking here.
A true hidden gem.
Great place for our group to stay for the Formula 1 race.A ten-minute walk to the downtown shuttle pickup and easy walking distance of many good restaurants.Host was very help in resolving a couple of minor issues.Highly recommended
The property was very clean, well kept, and just as the pictures showed. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone going to Austin for any trips!
We were a bachelor party of 12 and could not have asked for a better house for the weekend. Saved a ton of money on Ubers with the most popular restaurants and bars in Austin all a 5 to 20 min walk (Rainey, East 6th, Dirty 6th). The house was SPOTLESS, with tons of beds and baths for a very comfortable weekend. Thank you so much for everything!!!
Great Location for our bachelor party of 8, with amply activities within walking or biking distance. Very clean and we had a few different areas to gather in the house. plenty of beds and baths for the whole group.
Couldn't ask for a better spot in Austin. The house is close to all the various neighborhoods in the city, so its an easy car, scooter or bike ride to get to where you need to go. And there was plenty of indoor/outdoor space for our group of 10 who were in town for a long weekend!
This house was great for our group of 10. Spacious and very clean. The location is perfect for getting around Austin, and there is a good amount in walking distance (highly recommend Paperboy for brunch). There is a big construction project going on across the street, but it did not disturb us too much.
Great location, great property, great service. Would stay again
Location is amazing as it's in East Austin which has many cool restaurants, shops and bars within a few min walk. Downtown is also very accessible by a short scooter, cab or 15 min walk. The property was amazing, very functionality and came with all the amenities. Definitely would stay again.

Great for Large Groups and Perfect Location!
I was planning a trip for 8 people and wanted to pick a spot that could sleep everyone comfortably, I couldn't have picked a better spot. Between the hospitality from the property manager and the proximity it was from everything, it filled our every need. The house was super accessible for both entertaining and sleeping everyone in our group comfortably. It was walking distance from some of the major streets in Downtown Austin and also amazing BBQ. I was also really impressed by the quality of the house from the furnishing to the linens. They also made sure that every detail was covered and that there were plenty of amenities available to cater to our groups basic needs. I would highly recommend this rental and will be looking to rebook in the coming years.

Everything we needed
This house was a great fit for us. A very large group of guys had enough room to be comfortable for three days. The second floor porch got a lot of use in the Austin sun.

Spacious property. Everything our group needed!
This was a great property for my friends and I during my bachelor party. Keypad on the main door makes it easy to enter/exit for the entire group. Plenty of beds/bathrooms for all 9 of us to comfortably sleep and get ready without being on top of each other. Would definitely recommend!
