Was a great place to stay. Little hard to find and construction around the property made it a bit difficult to come and go. The property itself was perfect and close to everything we needed.

Best rental ever

My sons and I stayed for three days to celebrate my birthday. I was truly stunned at the cool vibe and beauty of the home's decor. So clean and well appointed with art and cool books (even comic books!). Water pressure and temptures were nice. Highly recommend this very well managed and appointed rental.

Trip to Austin

Good size. Nice location. Need new kitchen floor. Old water damage has caused the wood to warp. Too bad no way to get to deck on roof of the property. View would have been amazing especially at night.

Gathering of Friends for My 50th

The house was great! We really enjoyed staying at the Lelia. It’s a nice quiet neighborhood, but close to downtown where all the fun happens. We would most definitely stay there again if we were to make a stop in Austin.

Absolutely Perfect

My first time in Austin and I picked the best spot. This location is in a super neat area. Even though this home is located in a quiet neighborhood, there were lots of fun restaurants near by. We walked to them a couple times. I even walked to the downtown area. It was a nice walk over a scenic bridge and walking trail. Any time I called for an Uber, they were there within 3-5 minutes. And there’s the park close by with the cool water spring to enjoy. The house is big! The house was so beautiful and decorated with the hippest art work I’ve ever seen in a rental. Beds were very comfortable. Sheets, pillows and towels were crisp clean and fluffy. The entire home was updated and I felt I was in a brand new home. I can’t even begin to explain how much we loved this home. The layout is such that we would never have know anyone else was in the home. I especially love that the door had a keypad so I never had to worry about losing a key. Oh, and the A/C worked perfectly it was so humid while I was in town and it felt so wonderful to walk into this home every day. One day I literally stayed in that cool dark bedroom all day. It felt so good. Best VRBO I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve traveled a lot.

Great Location, close to Zilker Park

When you first pull up to the house you are a bit concerned of its age and slightly precarious staircase. Once inside, the charm and beautfully appointed artwork puts you at ease. All bedrooms have comfortable beds with soft sheets. We enjoyed the location, you can walk to Zilker Park and if weather permits (not too hot/humid) you could even walk through the park to the downtown area. Lots of restaurants close by. Terry Blacks bbq was enjoyable. It would be nice to see a few things fixed, water damaged floor in kitchen, unsure why there is black contact paper on kitchen wall, toilet paper holder/towel bars could be better secured in primary bathroom, closet doors should be repaired. Nothing that took away from enjoying the property given the age of the home. We'd definitely stay here again!

Graduation

We were in Austin for a graduation. But we did have a little time to enjoy the area. The house was prefect. Plenty of room for everyone. All the necessary supplies. Nice and clean. We enjoyed how it was decorated as well. The area had loads to do within walking distance. Lots of food options as well. If we get a chance to go back to Austin we will definitely stay here again.

Perfect rental for a family wedding

My partner and I, his brother and sister, and his niece and her husband were in Austin for his sons’s wedding at Laguna Gloria. The location was terrific for getting to the wedding venue, the rehearsal dinner and other activities we had planned. The property manager was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. All in all it was a great choice and our whole group enjoyed our stay.

Great location, walk-able to parks, restaurants, bike rental. Great space for a large group. The furniture (couches & end-tables), while visually pleasing was not the most comfortable or functional. Not a deal breaker though, as beds were comfortable. Would stay there again.

Super Chic Home near Zilker!

Our group stayed for a ladies' weekend away, and loved the style and fit of the house! (I need the decorator's number) This home is within walking distance of Zilker park, Chuy's, and so many other fun spots. The kitchen was fully equipped, bedrooms were perfect, ample bathrooms, no complaints! Would definitely stay here again!
