Family of four w 9yo boy and 11yo girl. We loved this apartment. The space is amazing, kids were especially thrilled as they were able to spread out and do their thing. Far better choice for us than two hotel rooms (have stayed at the Fairmont among other Austin hotels in the past and would take the space and having full kitchen over access to pool and other amenities). Parking garage was a bonus. We liked the rooftop porch area. Great library with books for everyone. 2 bathrooms were clean and spacious.Caveat: probably not for everyone? We didn’t mind exposed rafters, being right in the mix of downtown, some loud partiers coming from 6th street, no hotel-type amenities, etc. Not luxe, but we had a great experience.The space cannot be beat at this price point!
The location and condo were awesome—we had a great time on our trip! The only real issues were with how the place was stocked. We didn’t have any trash bags and only one dishwasher pod. Extra blankets were pretty limited too, and one of them even looked like it had a blood stain.It does get a little noisy at night, but the listing mentions that, so it wasn’t a surprise. There’s definitely a mix of people around, which we actually thought was fun because we love people‑watching!If you’re wondering whether I’d stay here again or recommend it—absolutely. Everything I mentioned is totally fixable. The open layout was super cool, and if/when I’m back in Austin, I’ll definitely be checking if this place is available again.
Nice and clean and unit was very nice. Unfortunately won’t stay again cause neighborhood sketchy. No water on fridge and dryer never got hot.

Glad to hear your enjoyed your stay. The property is in the heart of downtown Austin and comes with the nuances of any property located in the city center.
Our family of 4 just spent a long weekend moving our son to college. The apartment is in a good location and includes a parking space, which was very appreciated. The fact that this property is a loft was also interesting to experience. However, the apartment needs renovation and updating. For example, the furniture is old, pillows are uncomfortable and windows lack shades to minimize street lights at night. In addition, the a/c is not cooling sufficiently and smells musty and shower door does not stay closed. I was really hoping that we would enjoy staying here, but as it was, I could not wait to leave. I’m sure that after this property is renovated it will be a great place to stay.
A great loft to share with friends for the weekend!
Great location right on sixth street, the loft itself was beautiful and a lot of space to work with. The rooftop deck was our favorite part, the view was amazing! Will be looking to stay again if were back in Austin!

Thank you, Weston! We are so glad you enjoyed it, and we would love to have you back!
Great location and place. Only issue is that the pull out sofa is not very comfortable. Surely it could be replaced with something more comfortable like a futon or another Murphy bed with curtains could be added. Tons of space in the office area

Thanks so much, Munir! Happy to have you come back anytime!
Phenomenal loft apartment in a great location. We loved everything about our stay. Property was easy to access through the code, super clean, well equipped and just a really cool space. The location was so central. If you’re looking for something very quiet or are not used to cities (and some homeless people on the street in front), this may not be the place for you. But for our family (2 adults, 1 teen and 1 preteen ) looking to explore Austin for a long weekend, it was terrific. We’re already planning to come back.

“Beautiful Loft with Great Hosts, But Some External Challenges”
We had a great stay at this beautiful loft! The location was perfect, and the space was well-appointed with everything we needed and more. The loft itself was amazing, and the VRBO host was fantastic—responsive, helpful, and made sure we were taken care of.That said, there were a couple of issues beyond the owner’s control. The homeless population congregating near the building’s entrance was unsettling, especially when traveling with two teen daughters. Additionally, the building management (not associated with VRBO) had our car towed for no apparent reason, which caused unnecessary stress and disrupted our plans. Thankfully, the VRBO host was quick to assist and helped us resolve the issue.Overall, I’d rate this a 7/10. While the negatives were out of the owner’s control, they did impact our experience. However, the loft itself was truly fantastic, and we appreciated the excellent service from the VRBO host!

We are so glad you had a great stay with us. Regarding the towing of your car, we would like to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience it caused. Unfortunately, it was an error made by the towing company, and we have already addressed this issue with them to ensure such a mistake doesn't happen again.
While we do not have direct control over the area outside the property, we are committed to working with local officials and building management to maintain a safe and pleasant environment for our guests.
We'd love the chance to provide you with a better experience in the future, and we hope we can host you again.
My brothers and I recently went on a tour of America, and we found this lovely place outside of 6th street.
Check-in was EASY
Location was fantastic
The place was clean, open, tons of natural lighting and an it had an AMAZING rooftop patio.
Beds and sofas were comfy, they had a large TV so we could watch the game, Go 49ers!,
Great place, we loved it, and would love to stay again!

Hello,
We are finishing up our stay and will be leaving early tomorrow morning. Before we leave, I wanted to address several issues directly with you rather than leaving a negative review. I hope this provides you with an opportunity to address these concerns and improve in the future.
Firstly, the photos posted of the property are quite misleading and should be updated. We were unable to use the deck because the furniture was in disarray, with mold and rips on multiple cushions. The railing was severely damaged, and there was standing water and garbage covering the walkways.
Secondly, it seems there was no prior housekeeping done, as one of the couches had bird feathers and feces on the cushions, and was generally filthy upon our arrival, despite there being no bird in the unit.
Thirdly, during our stay, we encountered more than a dozen water bugs in the kitchen/dining area. Additionally, we couldn't use the dishwasher due to standing water and a foul odor emanating from it.
Lastly, and most importantly, the Murphy bed is infested with bed bugs. There are blood stains and excrement on the sheets, mattress, and pillows, indicating bedbugs, as well as a lack of preparation by housekeeping. Unfortunately, we only discovered this on Sunday morning after our Saturday night guest woke up with multiple bites on their arm, hand, and stomach. As a result, two of our guests had to incur additional costs for hotel rooms (limit reached)
This property was excellent for a short weekend get away with my friends. We really enjoy the location and proximity to bars. The roof top was also a very nice bonus!
Loft and location were great. Mgmt co. Could’ve been better

Thanks for staying with us and for your feedback. We didn't have any messages from you during your stay, so we are not sure what factors determined your review, but we would appreciate you reaching out privately and letting us know if you had any issues. To our knowledge, you didn't speak to anyone from our team during your visit with us. Thanks again, and we hope we have the opportunity to host you again.
The rooftop deck, beautiful, spacious condo and great location were the top reasons we chose the DT Loft and it did not disappoint. We were able to walk to the starting line and then all around downtown. Convenient shopping. Everyone said they loved it.
