We stayed in this lovely house for a week while visiting our son from the UK, and everything about it was wonderful. The house was spotless, the sitting area was comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, the beds were very comfy, and the neighbourhood was peaceful. Shops and restaurants are all within walking distance. We mostly used Lime scooters to get to the university and downtown, and the ride took only about 20 minutes. An Uber would have been quicker, but we enjoyed exploring the neighbourhood along the way. We loved our stay and will definitely book this house again the next time we’re in Austin.

The hosts were extremely responsive to our needs. They even purchased more pool towels and coffee cups for us and had them brought to the condo the same day. The view was even better than what we had expected!

Staff was great and the balcony view was a 10! The pool area waa very nice as well. The area around the condo was dimly lit, so that made the night time hours a littls concerning for some of our party.
