Spacious house with plenty of common space, bedrooms were nice if a bit oddly configured (one off the kitchen). Best part was the walkable location!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review and we look forward to your return!!
This house was had the best bedroom layout for couples going on a trip to Austin. Everyone has their separate rooms and then can gather in the huge living/kitchen area. Tons of sitting and great outdoor patio. We explored all of Austin and loved this location. Thank you!
We had not traveled in months and were leary of hotels, but the Daniel House was just what we needed. Excellent location, art work is out of this world., spacious and fully equipped. Loved the visit. Will be back soon!!

Thank you, Demetra! It was our pleasure to host you and your family.
Our group from all over North America got together for a great weekend. We even had a few friends stay at a near by hotel.
It’s close to the park and river activities and a scooter or uber to downtown. After smelling the BBQ in the backyard we had to cater dinner one night from Terry Black’s BBQ.
This house exceeded my expectations. The house was in a great location, very walkable, with a gorgeous view of downtown. The house itself was modern, functional, and full of the little touches you love to see in a VRBO (baskets of throw blankets, board games, a well stocked kitchen).
I didn’t reach out to the host during the stay, but they were very communicative prior to check in.
I would highly recommend this property.
This property was perfect for a quick weekend girls trip. Plenty of space in the living room area for lounging with guests. The living room leads to the outdoor deck which has views of downtown Austin. The master bedroom was spacious and the bathroom was huge! The house was updated with very comfortable beds, new kitchen appliances, and a large wine cooler! Highly recommend staying here for a girls trip or with a few couples!
The house is very well-maintained, has a great vibe and is in a great part of Austin. Be prepared for the management company to gather info on all adult guests (cell phone, email address, DOB, etc.) and for a cleaning crew to come every morning (around 9am) with a card that says if you don’t let them in, you’ll be charged an extra $100/day.
Beautiful house, centrally located. Just have to make sure you’re not outside after 10p which can be hard w a group of guys and a nice patio. Neighbors are right next to the house.

Austin Food & Wine Festival
My group of 12 friends very much enjoyed our stay at the Daniel House in Austin. The house has a modern vibe, a great view of the city, and was well equipped for everything to enjoy our stay.
Our sleeping arrangements were comfortable for 12, and we had plenty of room throughout the house.
The location was absolutely perfect for experiencing the food & wine festival, with the grounds being less than 10 minutes walking distance. Would definitely stay at the Daniel house again for our next group trip.

We had a wonderful time. The house is great. Only thing I wish was different - one more restroom. And I wish they put down rugs... I'm not very sensitive to noise when I sleep but you can literally hear every single thing in the house. Location is great and modern decor is beautiful.

You were excellent guests! We used to have rugs but the overwhelming feedback has been that people don’t want ‘dirty’ rugs in their space (ick factor) so we removed them. Of course this causes additional noise which has been addressed with high quality noise machines in every room. We're so sorry that you didn’t find or see them. We did hear that you will return so we are so excited to have you back again soon!
