Home was located in a good location to Austin. Fair neighborhood. Nice enclosed back yard with BBQ grill. Pathway to home had broken flagstones so watch out for tripping hazards. Home was surface cleaned but needed a deep cleaning on floor tile grout and all base boards and doors throught out the house, especially in the bathrooms. House was dingy, could use a new coat of paint. House was not kept up to what I would expect for a Vrbo vacation rental. We had little kids with us and it was kind of gross.

Very disappointing to see the review we got from your group. Would have loved to get feedback back from you when I asked “if anything’s out of order or there's anything we can do to make your stay the best stay”. I am honestly shocked at your response and can’t seem to understand why no one has had the same issues in my two and a half years renting this house. I wish you the best with your next travels however you might want to look at hotels next time.

Excellent price for a 3 bedroom. Great for entertaining and cooking meals. Well stocked with everything you would need. Back yard was very nice for early coffee. Having 2 living areas was great, especially if you have children. Would definitely book again.

Best place I've stayed at in Austin!

This house is only a few minutes away from endless entertainment (bars, shops, restaurants, gyms) and about 10-15 minutes from downtown Austin which made it a perfect location for my friends and I to hangout for the week! Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!! 10/10 would recommend!

Great location, quiet stay

We really enjoyed our stay here in Austin. It was convenient enough to get to the venue I was getting married at and it was out of the way of traffic. We did have some issues come up during our stay, such as TV remotes being missing, one of the bedroom TV’s being broken, and the ice maker not working. We communicated these with host and he tried to work with us on a solution for all the issues. Very much appreciated! The only thing I can think of that might need work is letting the people staying there that certain things are not working at the moment before you start your stay, that way they can be prepared for that. Other than that, we had a great stay! We would stay again!

Good overall

Everything was as listed. There was evidence that the bath tub had not been cleaned and by the bottom of our socks that the floor was not mopped well. To be fair, I am an inspector by profession. Could use a good deep cleaning, but, it was a great location. All towels and linens were perfectly clean. No bathmats, so we used a towel. If you have six people consider bringing a few towels and pillows if you use more than one each. Very nice host. The parking was no big deal at all and we never heard or saw unit B guests. No problems.

Great spot in an amazing location!

My recent stay at James' house near downtown was simply amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better host or a more perfect place to hang my hat while I was visiting the city. First of all, I have to give major props to James for his clear and frequent communication with me throughout my entire stay. He was always available to answer any questions I had and made sure I had everything I needed to feel comfortable and at home. The place was clean and the bed was super comfy, and I slept like a baby every night. Another plus is there are so many beds available for having friends over or hosting. But what really blew me away was the outdoor space. James has created an oasis in the heart of the city, with outdoor seating and a tv to watch football or a late night movie. And to top it all off, the neighborhood is simply delightful! It's quiet, safe, and filled with friendly folks who really made me feel welcome. I loved being able to easily get to all the cool shops and restaurants nearby. All in all, I would highly recommend James' place to anyone looking for an amazing stay in Austin. Thanks again, James, for making my stay so incredible!

Great location

Our stay was a breeze. Communication with owner was great. Check in process was smooth and the location was minutes away from everything you’ll need. House was as pictured. Clean rooms and complimentary bathroom soaps, tissue and linen. My only issues id address is there is only 1 TV in the house which is one in the living room. None of the bedrooms have TVs. One room did have a TV but after communicating with owner he advised it was damaged. However, there was a Tv on the back patio which was nice during the day to sit out under the covered patio and chill. But other than that if your a tv person there are none in the rooms. Second I’d say parking is not great. Yes it’s communicated that the driveway is not available for parking but parking on the street was kind of hard because all the street parking was full. However, we made it work. Overall, the stay was successful and I would book again if ever in Austin.
