We were looking for a single story home that my 90-year old mother in law would be comfortable in, with an en suite in the master bedroom. This house was exactly what we were looking for! It had upscale appliances, including an amazing refrigerator, and very nice bathrooms with great shower heads! It is off a main road but noise was never an issue. They were very accommodating for an early check-in and easy to communicate with.

The kitchen had everything we needed, though tea bags and coffee creamer would have been nice. The host checked on us via message. The house was pet-friendly with a fenced in back yard. The yard did need mowing and there was stagnant water in the bottom of a barrel in the backyard, so lots of mosquitoes. One side is next to a busy road so it was kind of loud. Overall though, it suited our needs and was comfortable and safe.

Great for family with teens/young adults

This house was perfect for our two nights stay in Austin with our college students. The house has modern decor and appliances, and was very clean and fully stocked with everything we could have needed. We loved the large kitchen table for our dinner with family!

Very Nice Place To Stay For The Football Game

Four of us stayed here two nights to see a football game at the University of Texas. Easy check in and the house had everything we needed for our brief stay. If we come back in a couple of years, we'd gladly stay again.

Long weekend getaway

In town for the Texas-csu football game. Very clean property. The best stocked rental house I’ve ever stayed in. The only downfall is the busy street nearby so can hear the traffic at night.
