Quick birthday(s) celebration
It was my sister’s 60th & my daughter’s 21st birthday celebration. The location was EXCELLENT. Short short walk to everywhere and the parking in driveway was one of the best thing about the house since you had to pay for parking EVERYWHERE in Austin which we were not aware. House had everything we need but we didn’t need much since we did not spend much time there. One thing, one of the beds in the bedroom is extremely high. We had no kids of elderly or that would have been a problem as it was quite and effort to state nicely to get in and out of that that especially in the middle of the night. Great VRBO experience.

BEST VRBO EVER!!!
Fabulous everything; Location, Space, Decor, Abundance of pillows, blankets, kitchen supplies and just pure neat cool things. Loved the outside space and how original all of the decor was. I wanted to stay one more day, one more week. I would charge a bit more and add a tv upstairs in the main room. Our boys sort of hogged the tv downstairs. My husband slept in a separate room because our bed was too high for him. He said it was comfortable but squeaked a lot. Maybe upgrade the mattress? Overall we loved it and will come back for sure. I have already spread the word with my pictures on Facebook and two of my friends are going to books soon.. LOL. ! Fantastic and kudos to the owners and all of their hard work on making this house a true GEM!!!!
