We spent a weekend here with 6 adults and it was quite comfortable and worked well. This is a very nice property in a quiet location but still only 1 mile from UT campus and the stadium.

Quiet enough to relax, but a mile from the stadium is the game weekend sweet spot! We're glad the home kept all six of you comfortable, and we'd love to have you back for the next one.

The property was actually better than described. Home was clean, well stocked with all the required basics (coffee-spices-& cooking utensils), and probably the nicest VRBO we have ever rented. All the beds were super comfortable, and the house was just easy to hang out in with an awesome outdoor area to barbecue and relax. Tons of great restaurants & bars close by so it was such a convenient place to stay.The property manager (AvantStay) was easy to get ahold of and made the check in & check out process seamless.

The house is beautiful with hardwood floors and tile - no carpet. The location is great, it is very close to DKR and many great restaurants. There were extra paper towels, toilet paper and trash bags which we really appreciated.

We appreciated this s beautiful, clean, open and spacious home, and 3 en-suite bedrooms and a half bath, and the comfortable linens, towels and comforters. We were grateful for the filtered water and ice and having a full size kitchen with plenty of options for making coffee. The beautiful weather prompted us to eat breakfast on the deck. As a family who loves games, we were happy to spend free time playing Scrabble and watching football.

Very clean and comfortable

Our family had a very nice stay at this property. It has everything that we needed to feel at home in Austin. The house is super clean! The neighborhood has a lot of great restaurants within walking distance, and is close to all the places we wanted to explore. The street in front is a bit busier than we were hoping, but it was ok. We had fun hanging out on the back porch in the mornings and evenings.

Absolutely Delightful!

I was excited to have found this beautiful home for rent for my first trip to Austin. The home was aptly decorated with fun western accessories without looking too kitschy. The location was perfect- walking distance to some delicious restaurants or a quick ride in a Lyft. As others have mentioned, the front faces a somewhat busy street (mostly cars passing and a little construction) but we mostly sat on the back on the deck and listened to the birds chitter and the crickets sing into the night. The outdoor ceiling fan over the back deck was nice to move the air around.My husband and I shared the master downstairs. I will be dreaming about that huge marble bathroom and amazing claw-foot soaking tub for a while. The water pressure was perfect and we never ran out of hot water. The double sinks and large walk-in closet were also perfection!My best friend had the whole upstairs to herself. We did not use the room with the twin beds but the other two beds (the queen upstairs and our master bed) were extremely comfortable. We did not need much from the host but communication was fast when we did reach out with a question. We did not take advantage of the grocery delivery service option but it was nice to know that we could have arrived to a full fridge. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking accouterments and some spices and we loved the high ceilings and tin backsplash. All in all, it was an absolutely delightful place for a much needed vacation week.
