It was perfect for us and close to the places we needed to go to. We were in Austin for our wedding. The open space of the house was wonderful. We were able to host a few friends and everyone thought the house was beautiful. I was able to get in touch with the management company and hopefully these items will be fixed/taken care of for the next guest. The only negatives, that can easily be fixed, were missing curtain/blinds in the primary bedroom, the garage door wasn't properly installed and would not open, and some of the rugs looked dirty. Besides that we loved it. ##### Raquel M. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Caleb C. 30 Dec 2025 ##### Caleb C.
