This means a lower cost to book, and because accidents happen, protection against costly charges. Plan terms and conditions provided by request after booking.

We have taken extra precautions to care for our guests and employees by introducing zero contact entry, enhanced cleaning protocols, and strict covering requirements for employees.

Quick Spring Break
The property was exactly as advertised. This is a small apartment located right off of South Lamar. It is very close to downtown and Zilker park. We were able to go to Barton springs and enjoy the water even if it was a little cold. This is a great spot for anyone looking for a quick, affordable getaway. It is not a big rental built for entertaining, but rather a cozy apartment for easy access to Austin.

Worst VRBO stay ever
This is the worst VRBO experience we have ever had. First of all, I consistently received two emails for every reminder and every check in one from Austin vacay and one from a service manager. This made the check in process difficult because the code sent to me did not work. I called the property manager who answered after the second call and gave me a different number which worked. They apartment in our opinion was not at all how was presented on the website. The furniture and art is different (no big deal). The outside door frame is completely rotted away, the kitchen cabinet and drawers do not close. There is black mold in the air vents. On almost every door inside and out is chipping and peeling paint. They lid on the toilet is broken and clearly glued together. The apartment smells very strongly of odor ban cleaning solution and as it wears off you can smell cigarette smoke. The units around this apartment all have broken blinds and loud barking dogs (I know the property manager can't control the neighbors, but something that would have been nice to know). Both times I contacted the property manager (check in and when we wanted to talk about the property) I had to call twice before he would answer. Needless to say, we left the property and ended up getting a hotel. I called the property owner and explained our concerns, he was not willing to refund any of the money except the cleaning fee, which I still have not had returned to me. Had this been a cheap rental I wouldn't have cared so much but as you can clearly see if you're considering it, it isn't cheap.

Great location, worked for a couple
Great location for a getaway for my husband and I. We walked to several restaurants (10 min walk, easy peasy). Short drive to disc golf, Zilker Park, breweries and stores. The bed was not the most comfortable but it worked for a few nights. Neighbors were quiet, no issues at all, felt safe, parking is easy.

A perfect location and cozy home for a weekend in Austin
Overall we enjoyed our one night stay at this property. It was cozy and had everything we needed. When we arrived, it was clear that it hadn't been cleaned thoroughly (hairs in the shower and on our bed sheets) which was a bit uncomfortable during a pandemic. However, we reached out to the property manager and they immediately sent someone out to change the bed linens and reclean the bathroom. Sometimes things happen and cleaners don't always do a good job, but I appreciated the promptness of getting the situation taken care of.
