Just wanted to thank you again Connie for host my family and me! The house was perfect for us, and we loved the neighborhood. It was so close to downtown and had the funky, artsy vibe that we were looking for. And breakfast at the Cenote cafe was the perfect beginning for our days adventuring into Austin. Look forward to our next trip out there! ##### Paul C. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 23 Feb 2010 #### Great house, with plenty ...

Thanks so much Connie for allowing us to stay in your Treehouse Apartment on Garden Street. It was close to Downtown and in a very quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed visits each morning from the cutest cat while having coffee on the porch. We both can't wait to find time to come back for at least a week next time, as 3 days was not long enough. :) Juan and a Million was great for breakfast, and only a couple of blocks away. We also enjoyed The Shuck Shack. They had good food, and we loved the vibe there. We will definitely be back. Thanks again. Denise & David Christenson ##### Denise C.

Last year we split the team between an RV park and hotels, and it was a mess. This rental was a perfect place to decompress after the long days of shooting. Nice, big backyard, grill, great front porch. Spacious kitchen, etc. The place was very clean. The owner was on top of all email correspondence and payment issues. For groups of more than 4, I highly suggest renting the tree house apartment with the rest of the house. Having that additional space with an additional kitchen is key. I have no complaints, but for those of you considering renting for SXSW, rent a few bikes to avoid the awful Cesar Chavez traffic, and you will be good to go. In fact, if we're heading back down there again for SXSW2012, then this would be the first place I'd call. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Connie 'paprika' L. 3 Jan 2019 #### Amazing place! Loved it.

My family enjoyed our Thanksgiving Holiday stay at the "The Garden St. House". The kitchen was even plenty big enough for us to prepare our Thanksgiving feast, and it was equipped with almost everything we needed. My grandaughters made friends with the children nextdoor. It was great place for a family gathering. The owner was very helpful and responded promptly to every question I had. The place was very cozy, comfortable and clean. Just as described on the website. ##### s d.

The owner, Paprika Leaverton, responded promptly each time to my needs/questions in making the reservation. The house was clean and has a kitchen that is well-stocked with dishes and utensils for cooking. Everything was in working order and there are lots of table surfaces available for keeping our belongings organized. There was plenty of seating and the beds were comfortable. It is an older home that retains its vintage charm. One of the best parts of the stay was the neighborhood. I have lived in Austin in the past and was surprised about how vibrant east Austin has become. There are tons of cute coffee shops and eateries in waking distance from the house. It is an active, lively community with people of all ages and cultures living there. Lots of homes were in the process of being renovated. People were everywhere, out walking their dogs or getting around on bikes. It was fun to sit on the front porch and watch. Despite all the activity, and proximity of the houses, it was surprisingly VERY quiet at night. Not a single dog bark or car was heard! The trash pick up was a tad noisy one morning, but that happens in any neighborhood.Someone lives upstairs, but you wouldn't know it. My one suggestion is that the middle bedroom could use a mirror above the desk for getting dressed when others are occupying one of the two nice bathrooms. I would love to stay here again. ##### Anya T.

We chose to stay at the Garden St. House because it offered the most affordable price for the amount of sleeping and seating space my family needed. The house has a unique feel to it, which resonates with the "Keep Austin Weird" slogan. My family appreciated the unique setting, especially since it accommodated all of us within our budget. There was enough sleeping for 8, and we could also all sit in the living room together to talk and play games. We could also all fit comfortably around the kitchen area to enjoy our daily brunch together. The location was very convenient. This house was a great fit for my family's 4-day getaway. ##### Chad M.

Our kids loved the wagon full of toys and the little rocking chair. We had a big family meal in the well equipped kitchen and enjoyed the playscape just down the street. The house is roomy and enjoyed the old style and the colorful vaulted walls. Quite creative and unique. Lindsay was wonderful too and we were able to have her company deliver us groceries before we even arrived. That was so nice. Thanks all! ##### Connie 'paprika' L.

Our family stayed at the Garden St. House in June and it was great! Quiet neighborhood, Big backyard with a BBQ grill, vaulted ceilings and large bedrooms, comfy beds. Parks and the pool was close and we even found the river just 2 blocks away. Was nice but unusual to have wood floors everywhere even in the kitchen. Its an older house with alot of charm. We'll be back.

We did get that sorted out eventually and arrived to find a great updated house. The house was very comfortably furnished and very well located. And ...... as it turned out Paprika was a fan of the festival as well so we got to meet her too! She was a delight and a wonderful hostess. We would absolutely stay here again. ##### Lisa W.

Was great to have the Renters Club Concierge service. We ended up having them buy groceries for us. And they gave us tourist tips which was also great. The house was very clean and felt like a 5 star hotel. Folded towels on the bed is a nice touch. Nice everything! And we walked almost everywhere, especially the Sola area. Fun! Thanks so much.

Enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, proximity to Ladybird Lake and walking trails, couple of great restaurants nearby by (try the Don Juan at Juan in a Million), and you can even try you skill on a trapeze a few blocks down Chavez. About a half hour walk to Rainy Street restaurants. House has a nice front porch and back patio and yard, both of which we used a lot. Quirky older home, which we enjoyed. Hard to open some of the windows, but enough opened for us to be comfortable in spring weather. ##### Jeanne C.

The place was lovely and cosy and had pretty much what you needed for a short stay. We rented the Garden St House for 2 weeks during SXSW and it was perfect. While we were far enough from the hustle and bustle of downtown to get rest and work undisturbed, it was only a 30 min walk to the convention centre. I would definitely stay again if in Austin.

Within a walk or short drive to many Austin sites. ##### Bianca S.

Well located to allow ease of getting around Austin. Easy drive (or bus ride if you want) to downtown and the SOCO areas. The house is spacious, comfortable and has all of the character you would expect in a house this age. Much larger inside than it appears when you first drive up.The neighborhood is nice and quite. There is a fairly new restaurant just over a block away and you are about a 10 minute walk to some great food truck BBQ and neighborhood pubs. Homeowner is great at getting back to you if you have any questions or concerns. ##### Ron R.

We all thought the house worked out great. In the morning, we could walk to "Juan In a Million," an excellent Mexican restaurant, for a fantastic breakfast. And when going into Austin, it was only a 5-minute drive, which we used Uber for. Super convenient, and the neighborhood was nice and quiet, too. ##### Patrick D.

Yes, it happened on night 1 of 2 that we stayed at this home (no note left). A bit pricey for a home with older amenities. I would not stay here again. ##### Joe M.

I would not rented if I knew they had a large dog that lived most of the time inside. Bought fabreeze which only mask the allergies. Two of us suffered and the rest of the family with us was okay. Had a little ant problem but otherwise okay. It was a great location. ##### Sharon C.

The high ceilings and odd slopes allow for plenty of space and make the house seem open even with eight of us staying there. The house was clean and very well kept. Creaky, but that's to be expected from a house this old. All of the amenities were as listed and clearly laid out in the instructions given by the owner. The neighborhood was also fairly quiet! ##### Hannah S.

It was so convenient to downtown and roomy enough for all of us. This place is great for large groups and a very short drive to Austin nightlife. Everyone in our group was satisfied with the size of their rooms and common areas. If you are looking for a place to stay with a larger group you can even rent the upstairs apartment for an additional fee. We enjoyed our weekend and am sure we would consider renting the property again for our next trip! ##### Jessica K. ---
