  My boyfriend and I stayed at this darling property with our dog for Austin City Limits. The location of the home is in a charming neighborhood located minutes from downtown, Lake Austin, and great local eateries. The property was clean and well stocked with any and everything you might need. The kitchen is a great convenience factor with a full size fridge, plenty of cabinet space, and a Keurig. The owners were extremely friendly and accommodating, as were their two chocolate labs. This was our first year attending Austin City Limits and looked into rental properties as the hotels were fully committed. We wouldn't change a thing and hope to be invited back to stay here next year!

  Recommended for: Pet owners, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: Definitely invited back! I had been bragging about what wonderful renters we had for ACL!

  Delightfully busy days - but a cozy, clean & comfortable little tree house to which to retreat for the evening of quiet time and a good night's sleep was wonderful. The space is pleasant, very quiet, well planned and well equipped and has nice natural light in addition to excellent lighting. Really appreciated the quality air conditioning - and the ceiling fans for circulation since I am not used to air conditioning and closed windows. Loved the coffee maker ~ and the recliners put me to sleep. I liked the security gate too. Apartment is in a lovely shady and safe neighborhood with access to MoPac and Lamar, near many medical facilities, Lamar Senior Center, Central Market and lots of good food. Easy drive to downtown, Book People, many churches, UT, and probably great music venues. I hope to return, and I'd highly recommend this studio retreat apartment. Nice quiet place to read or write or study - or use the natural lighting to paint. Steps were no problem for me, but might need to be considered by some renters.

• Great SXSW Rental

  My boyfriend and I booked this apartment for 8 nights to attend SXSW Music. The apartment was brand new and I was the first tenant so was a bit nervous when booking but everything worked out really well! The place was very nicely decorated and had all amenities you could ask for, including free wireless internet access, coffee maker, fridge, cooking facilities, TV, comfy bed. We used the No.19 bus most days to get into downtown - the nearest stop is just around the corner. Or a taxi will set you back $10-15. There is a Randall's grocery store nearby and a few pizza/coffee/burger places within easy walking distance. Jennifer & Clayton were very welcoming and did not impose in any way. And their two dogs are very friendly!

  Owner response: Thank you for the kind message.

  My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay in this garage appointment. Very clean. Great location. Being pet friendly is great as we hate to board our lab for a weekend trip. The wireless internet is very nice. The only complaint I would have is that the is no cable TV. However when I'm in Austin, I'd rather be out and about, so this a very minor complaint, but it would be nice to have nonetheless. We will definitely stay here again.

  Owner response: We loved having you stay with us. And, you are welcome back anytime.
