8.8/10 Excellent! (1,826 reviews)

The location was perfect for what we wanted to visit while in Austin. Friendly service and cozy beds. The hot water had issues there first couple days so no hot shower but it was eventually fixed. I liked the sister property having a bar and restaurant onsite.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (20 reviews)

The apartment was set up nicely for 2 couples. Nice sized kitchen and dining area. Bedrooms very spacious and restrooms very clean and spacious. They could provide more bath towels and wash clothes and pool towels. Only provided 2 per bathroom for 4 people staying a full week. Not enough toilet tissue either. No coffee maker was provided. We purchased a small one and left it there when we left. All in all very nice and very reasonably priced.
