Very clean house that allows pets and has a nice place for them in the yard to chill. Very convenient location, walking distance to south congress, several restaurants and bars, and a nice walking trail along the river that ends at a nice park. Very pleasant place that's comfortable.
Very clean property. Conveniently located where a short walk or cheap uber can get you what you need. The property had everything I needed for my stay.
Great place to stay for a couple. Walking distance to Congress Street, short cab or scooter ride to 6th Street or Red River District. Quiet neighborhood. If we come to Austin again we would definitely stay here again.
Great, comfortable spot, centrally located. Quiet neighborhood minutes from all of the important stuff to do in town.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Clean, comfortable house - perfect size for a couple. Close proximity to South Congress Ave, river trails & the city centre.
I’ve stayed in many rental properties and this one definitely reached the top 3 of my list. Everything I needed was there, the location is fantastic all around, the owner was extremely friendly and helpful, and the place itself is just a fun and cool little place.
What a lovely little home. Loved the bed set up and great shower! Quaint spot, easy to get to everything around Congress street if you know Austin, I would only suggest in the photos that you show the house from street view so people know it’s set back behind the other home in front.
