This house was great! It was in a good location and perfect for our family of four. I loved the extra space compared to a hotel, plus the primary bathroom shower and double sink vanity were great, and the house was as shown in the pictures. Communication with the property management was prompt, and our checkout requirements were very minimal.
We lives the location of this property! So close to everything! We enjoyed sight seeing, bbq, and visiting our family that lives in Austin. My daughter and I enjoyed running to Lady Bird Lake and visiting the botanical gardens. We also enjoyed swimming at Barton Springs and shopping on Congress and The Domain. Amazing place to visit!
Overall a nice stay and great location. We found the driveway to be awkward as it is shared and the neighbor had two cars parked that made it difficult for us to get in and out. Also, the bed linens in the main room were quite stained, had a weird film to them and needs replacing. The main shower was also not cleaned upon our arrival.
The management company was mostly responsive. We were unable to access the house when we first arrived, but we were able to call and get a new code within 5 minutes. The house was moderately clean. However, there were random dirt marks on most of the walls, the garbage disposal made the kitchen stink every time the faucet was turned on, and multiple spots in the house needed to be dusted. We did call during our stay because there were only blinds in the bedrooms. In one of the small bedrooms it looked like they used paper blinds. We asked if it were possible to get something to cover the other windows in the home, as it was really hard to enjoy the house at night. There are a lot of big windows throughout the downstairs of the home and very large windows upstairs in the hallway. So it was pretty uncomfortable staying with two young kids knowing that anyone could be looking into house. We did reach out to find a solution for this and they requested photos, which we sent. Unfortunately they never did get back to us after acknowledging the photos had been received. Also, there were quite a few occurrences where we found ants in the house, like in the bathtub of the upstairs bathroom. Overall the house is decent and in a good location, but is in need of a good deep cleaning and blinds/curtains to make future stays more comfortable.
Great location! Lots of natural light and plants and space. Futon room had a great stand-up desk plenty of space. I don't think more than one person could sleep on the futon, and for a child it did just fine. I couldn't find clean sheets for the futon- but property mgmt was very responsive and quickly helped me navigate where they were.Queen bedroom was cozy. The air conditioner hits your face which could be refreshing, or bothersome, depending on your preference. The a/c was also pretty loud in that room, but acted as a great white noise. Blinds kept light out just fine.King bedroom: my mother said she had the best sleep there! She enjoyed the bed very much. Full-length mirror available and great lighting in the bathroom. Amazing shower.The 2 upstairs have bidets which were AMAZING. There were plenty of towels and washcloths for our stay, a hair dryer, extra toiletries.Outdoor areas were nice- you can sit on the balcony upstairs and there is a nice seating area outside downstairs with a great grill.Beautiful kitchen! Bring your own coffee and sugar if needed. There is no toaster. Tons of spices and cookware.Random: A/C worked great in this hot summer. Bring slippers because there is not much carpet. Parking was easy! Checkout was a breeze!A responsiveness of the property managers. I had forgotten something after checkout and they worked with me within 20 mins to go back and get it before I left the city.Overall a great stay and I would stay again.
