Great SoCo location

The layout of the property really fit our group. They’re actually two houses – connected but also separate entrances, separate kitchens. We rented both. Privacy between the different sections – a great kitchen and dining room in the main, larger part. A definite good find.

Perfect Location - Great Compound!

Couldn't have picked a better location! Walking distance to South Congress and next door to quiet neighbors. The house was very clean and comfortable for 8 adults - can't beat that. Check in/out was a breeze, communication was great - no issues whatsoever! Would definitely go back again!

Great Austin house for a group in an even better location!

We just had a fantastic long weekend in Austin and one of the best parts was this house! We were a group of 8 (4 couples) and it was so nice for everyone to have their own space but the main gathering areas were perfect for us all to hang out. We didn't want to rent a car which was not a problem because you are literally steps away S. Congress and some awesome shops and restaurants and a short Lyft or Uber to Downtown. All three living areas were very clean and we were pleasantly surprised to find them stocked with seltzer, fresh fruit and pastries, and even wine! We would stay here again and highly recommend it.

4 Generation Family Trip

We all had a great time staying here! The location was perfect for everything we had planned. Each family group had privacy when needed, but we also had plenty of space to be together. Great-grandma had the studio bedroom on the main floor. The grandparents (us) had the main bedroom upstairs. The son and daughter-in-law with 2 kids had the back house. The house was clean and had a well-stocked kitchen and pantry. Perfect for us!

Best house Best location in Austin

Best house in the very best location. Walking distance to all the best restaurants and shops 1 block from South Congress. Ling driveway w lots of parking. Inside the main house was modern updated and very comfortable with everything you need. Loved the huge fun kitchen with the orange stove and the master bedroom shower & cool tub. The studio is off the kitchen and has a kitchenette, bathroom and French doors leading to the fun backyard. The back house has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath which has a cute historic cottage feel. Cant wait to stay here again!

Great house - great location!

We rented this property for a girlfriends' weekend in Austin, TX. Six women stayed comfortably on the property (7 or 8 would be the maximum). The house was spacious, with plenty of amenities - in the main house there is a master upstairs with a large bathroom, and a studio space with a mini-fridge, etc.. The back house has two bedrooms, a kitchen, and bathroom as well. All of the beds were really comfortable with plenty of pillows. There is a really nice sitting area in between the two houses with lounge chairs and a picnic table, and we spent a lot of time out there chatting and hanging out. The best part about the property was the location - you are right off South Congress and can walk to shops and restaurants. It wasn't noisy, though, which was great! Overall, the property was awesome, and we enjoyed our stay,

Great location in Austin!

Fantastic home in a great location! Walking distance to Congress street! Great shopping and restaurants very close to house! There is a nice patio that separates the main house from the guesthouse. The patio furniture does needs to be cleaned. Lots of debris all over the furniture and was dirty. However we did spend a couple nights under the stars which was lovely! Only other complaint would be to get new hair dryers(master bedroom) Otherwise the house is very clean and has a great kitchen/living area! Beautifully decorated! The master bedroom was gorgeous! Beds were also very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again as it was so nice to be able to walk all over Congress street! Thank you for opening your home! Fabulous stay!

Hi Wendy, thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We will certainly share the feedback regarding the hair dryer with the owner. Unfortunately, we are in the throes of pollen season so it's nearly impossible to keep up with all of the pollen that is falling right now. Our inspection team was onsite the morning of your arrival and part of their inspection involves wiping down outside furniture so it did get addressed prior to your arrival, however there is a constant 'yellow film' across Austin right now. This will pass within the next few weeks. Other than that, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Thanks again and safe travels, The Team at iTrip

Best Location in Austin

We stayed at the Elizabeth St. Compound for a girls' weekend. I picked the house for its location to the South Congress area and it did not disappoint! We were able to easily walk everywhere. The house itself was very comfortable for all 8 of us. The kitchen is gorgeous with a great layout (huge center island) for a big group and is extremely well stocked -- I think better than my own kitchen at home. And we all easily fit into the living room when it was time to relax with a glass of wine. The house is also so accommodating with extra pillows, linens, and towels. We did have issues with a couple of the toilets, but the iTrip Austin team was incredibly responsive. They went above and beyond to secure a plumber late on a Friday night well outside of business hours to get everything fixed for us. I was so impressed with iTrip Austin's communication and helpfulness throughout every step of the rental process: from booking to check out.

Pros and Cons

Overall, the place had its pros and cons. There was plenty of space for four couples to have their own privacy. The main house (and particularly) the master bedroom was very nice - although the master did not have a bedroom door. The remaining guest rooms were slightly out of date / sub quality to the pictures on the website. The location is great and truly can’t beat it. The main problem we faced was a bug infestation, seeing 4+ cockroaches during our visit. The owner / management company was quick to respond and brought pest control immediately (they were generally very responsive, a nice touch); however, the pest control did not resolve the bug problem during our visit. The owners did provide us a 20% discount off a future stay yet that did not solve our current problem with the current living arrangements. We don’t know if we would stay there again with a future 20% discount knowing critters may be roaming the property. Ideally, we would have received a discount off our current stay but unfortunately we were not given one.

Excellent stay at 204 E. Elizabeth, Austin TX

Our party of 7 reserved the entire compound (Main house, studio and back rooms) and the accommodations were fantastic! The layout of the rooms allows for group enjoyment and privacy. Each section is self-sufficient so each party could enjoy quiet time and we would all meet in the kitchen/living area of the main house for meals and entertainment. The compound had plenty of necessary items for cooking and entertainment so meal prep was stress free. The very short walk to South Congress Avenue gave us easy access to all types of dining, shopping and entertainment. A walk to Lady Bird Lake and the heart of downtown Austin is (maybe) 15 minutes. For major parts of our 6 day stay we didn't need a car which was an added bonus. We can't wait to go back!

Great House in Austin

Had a party of 8 that stayed here in March of 2020. The house is great and there was plenty of room for us all. The separate house out back gave everyone there own privacy. Very well decorated and in a great neighborhood. It is just a couple blocks from Congress so a short walk to everything there.

Nice place, perfect location

4 couples traveling together to Austin. This was the perfect spot. Tastefully decorated, very clean and comfortable home(s) in a great location. Walking distance to 'SoCo' where we found plenty to keep us occupied. Enjoyed the common areas during the day and it was nice for each couple to have a place to retreat to at night. Really enjoyed the master bedroom - very upscale.
