    Really, the best part about this place is Bala, the lady that owns and manages it. You get to speak directly with her, instead of through a realtor. She answers all questions quickly and makes the check-in as easy as possible. We had an issue with our flights, and she had no problem accommodating us. The house is in an ideal location, only 10 minutes from downtown and the airport. The neighborhood is quiet and relaxing. We stayed for 8 days, no problems at all. We would recommend it to anyone. In fact, we hope to stay again!

    We stayed here Memorial Day weekend and had a great time. My wife and I and another couple stayed here, and we would all highly recommend this property. Bala is a pleasure to work with, and the communication we got from her was great. The house is only about 10 minutes from 6th Street if you want to go have some fun in the city, but the pool and grill allow for fun right at the house. The house was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. This house was is a great choice if you're looking for an Austin vacation. Yancey Abilene, TX

    I traveled with my sister, best friend, and 2 kids for the Easter holiday week. We had a great time at the house and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the toys. We had no problems finding the house which was very clean and ready for our stay, even arriving a bit early was not an issue. Bala was a great host and went above and beyond providing a two page email of suggested places to eat and visit during our stay. We had more than enough to see and do. The house is conveniently located near major roads and highways. Several supermarkets, organic markets, shops, dining, etc. are easily accessible. We had no problems getting around and it was our first time in Texas. The neighborhood is quiet. The house is surrounded by beautiful trees which is a nice retreat from city life but still close enough to enjoy everything Austin has to offer. We took a couple of day trips to San Antonio Sea World and Riverwalk which were about 1 hour away. I would highly recommend this house for your stay in Austin.

    My girlfriends and I went to Austin for a bachelorette party and had the BEST time lounging by the pool. The house was very clean, quaint and peaceful. Bala was great to work with and I would definitely stay at this home or any home Bala has for rent again. Thank you so much for a great experience.

    We came to Austin on Memorial weekend for our nephew's wedding and stayed with our grown children and their 'other halves'. We had a mini family vacation with four of us from CA and two from Chicago. It was so pleasant to have the home atmosphere for simply spending time together around the celebration days. The layout and amenities were perfect, house was clean, linens were good, pool was great. It was wonderful in the hot weather we were having to have the choice of setting the air conditioning as we liked and/or using the ceiling fans too. The house is in a comfortable, quiet residential neighborhood but not too far from things we were going to. Bala was very helpful with getting started directions and finding groceries the first day, etc We went to the greenbelt (my daughter jogged it), did a boat/bat tour, shopped at the mall and on So Capital, ate and listened to music downtown, and saw Zilker botanical gardens. My son did kayaking. For future travelers, don't plan to go to hear music on monday nights - not much live (found that out our last night there) but heard some sunday night. We also drove around to see the capital building (impressive) and the University. Also drove up Mt Bonnell and got wonderful views. Please add to the amenity list that there are hairdryers in both bathrooms. I brought mine since it was not listed. One thing I would recommend is look at a map before you go (like a paper autoclub map) We got lost a few times and had some issues with different gps units giving different directions to the same place (obviously an Austin issue, not a problem with the house) I highly recommend this as a home to stay in in Austin

    We had a great stay here for our family Labor Day get together. The house was comfortable and spacious, perfect for our needs. The pool was an added bonus, and we had a lot of fun swimming every day. Would definitely recommend this place to others!

    We enjoyed being in the area as it was close to our son's home and within walking distance. The pool was enjoyed during the hot weather. We will plan on staying there again when we come to Austin for an extended stay. I would highly recommend it to a friend.

    We had the pleasure of staying at this guest house last March. The rooms were very comfortable and sitting by the pool each morning for tea was delightful! We were able to get around fine (had a rental car & GPS) and could find the way "home" without difficulty. Looking forward to a return trip to the great state of Texas and some more of Dale Watson's music!

    We stayed for four days in May for a wedding. I found this home to be spaciouse and very comfortable. It had everything we needed. The pool was a great addition since it is so hot down there. The home is centrally located for the city. I would definately stay again, we had a wonderful time.
