Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay 13 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Spacious room with all of the amenities needed. Great location and easy access to many south/downtown sites of Austin. Easy communication with the owner, who allowed early room access to help with our arrival day plans. Can’t wait to come back! ##### Jay Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheri Jo M. 5 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The property was perfect! Access to the property and laundry was easy. There are many shops nearby and the SOCO location is prime! The space itself was adorable and perfect for us (2)! The host was responsive and greeted upon check-in. We highly recommend this property! ##### Sheri Jo M.
