Work trip.

Great location. Nice, cute, older home with comfortable bed. The road is heavily congested with parking, and a couple times it was an issue, but overall I was able to find somewhere to park, and I enjoyed my stay. I would definitely stay again.

Perfect stay...highly recommended!

Awesome house in an amazing location! Host was delightful to work with from the start...would highly recommend staying here if you're traveling to Austin. 10 min. walk to Rainey St. and even shorter walk to other cool restaurants on E. Cesar Chavez St. House was clean and was stocked with everything you'll need. Thanks again!

Austin to a T

This is a great little house, quintessentially Austin in a quiet neighborhood and conveniently located. The only negative is that the 2nd bed is not queen size. I can't imagine 2 adults sleeping there. One person had to sleep on the sofa.

One major problem

We arrived late at night, I thought I heard noises but didn't pay attention to it. In the morning we noticed that the home had a mouse trap behind the refrigerator. On our second day while we were waiting to get ready for dinner we had an unwanted visitor which was as large mouse. After a day out we went back to get ready for dinner when we had an unwanted visitor (a mouse). Besides the mouse one of the beds bedding had a hole in the sheet along with a hole in one of the towels and a light bulb was burnt in the bathroom. It was early fall but the front/side yard could have been cleaned especially knowing that you rented this property out. Was disappointed that this was our first time using HomeAway and it wasn't as I had heard from previous renters whom used HomeAway.

Excellent location. Great amenities

This vacation rental was the perfect location. The majority of the places we went to was a quick car ride away. Loved the decor and the beds were comfortable

Excellent location for this cute, tidy home!

I was in town for a conference at the Convention Center (less than a mile away, which was a short bike ride), and this property was perfectly located for access to downtown and plenty of fun things to do in the evening. The house is well-maintained and the pictures perfectly display what you will find. I had my significant other and a friend staying here, as well, and we were pleasantly comfortable.

Lovely decor! Great location!

We enjoyed our stay here! The home was roomy and conveniently located for walking nearly everywhere we wanted to go. A couple things to note that I did not see in the listing: This is a duplex. The rental shares a wall with the back unit. For this visit, we left our kids at home so we were able to enjoy later nights but would have been much quieter had we known there was a kiddo trying to sleep. This is important to know!! Also, the smaller bedroom has a child-sized bed in it. Our group was very tall so it wasn’t the most comfortable sleeping arrangement. These are just things to consider. They did not take much away from this lovely property. The hostess was very responsive and accommodating which is always appreciated!
