Owner very pleasant and professional. Check-in a breeze. Perfectly clean and very well-stocked. Close to great restaurants, bars, park, downtown. Walkable or drivable. Plenty of room for two - only there for four days but could easily see being comfortable for a month or more. Wi-fi fine. Neighbors quiet on a very busy weekend and weekdays. Could hear other residents walking up/down stairs occasionally but nothing loud at all. Would very definitely hope to stay here again if back in Austin. Also enjoyed owner’s list of recommended restaurants etc - we would add our visit to Pontotoc Vineyards Picnic Table and Coordinate Winery farmhouse on Hwy 290 in Hye. ##### Chris J. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bits 16 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location, Clean, and Well-Maintained Great location and very comfortable apartment. We stayed at The Retro for a month and were impressed with the professionalism and service of Zilker Properties. We had a small issue with the kitchen faucet, but even tho it was a weekend, Peach got it fixed right away. The apartment was very close to Zilker park, small groceries, restaurants and even a movie theater. All were within an easy walking distance. Downtown Austin is a short drive. The apartment had everything we could want for a long stay, including a full kitchen, pots and pans and even a selection of spices. The Retro was a comfortable size for two adults. Having a free laundry room on the site was especially appreciated. Everything looked great and was very clean and well maintained. Thanks for the lovely stay. ##### Bits Stayed 31 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dennis C. 11 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Dennis C.
