    Very clean, comfortable and functional unit. We enjoyed the additional space and full kitchen that we would not have had if we stayed in a hotel. WiFi was a plus and very much appreciated. Brooke was easy to work with and flexible with our check-in time.

    This HomeAway from home will always be at the top of my list for a place to stay in Austin, Texas. The house was immaculate, private and quiet. The location was surprisingly inviting with a meadow landscaped yard in a tranquil neighborhood. The kitchen allowed us down time and a chance to save money by preparing our own meals while running errands for my daughter's wedding. The pictures online depict exactly what you will be walking into for the first time. No surprises. The list of supplies and amenities was accurate. The owner was available and very helpful. At the same time we felt like we had the property to ourselves. I would recommend visiting Lady Bird Johnson's Wildflower Center.

    Description of the listing was accurate, the owner was friendly and helpful but made you feel like they really were not on site - great customer service. This is a great location for seeing Austin as it is close to downtown and all the interesting sites on Congress Street. Since I was in town for work, the proximity to the office was perfect and the desk and wi-fi in the cottage was very handy. Kitchen had everything you needed. There was ample space in the closet and hangers were provided for clothing. The bed was comfy too. Owner provided plenty of little extras that made it very convenient! Truly a great find!!

    I stayed in the cottage for 3 months with a business partner and overall it was a great experience. Everything worked well and our host, Brooke, was very attentive and helpful when we needed anything.

    My 3 month stay at Brooke's Kenwood home was perfect! The home was spotless and just as described and pictured on-line. The neighborhood is very nice, quiet and safe. My neighbor (Brooke herself) was the best! She was very helpful with all the questions I had about Austin and helped me find the best places to eat and the best places for me to take my toddler. I'm very grateful for Brooke's hospitality and for making my stay in Austin comfortable and fun.

    We had a great two day stay at the very private two bedroom attached home. Brooke was available and made a quick delivery when we needed a wine opener (our biggest crisis of the stay). Very friendly cat looking for pats or just someone to sit with. The home is about a 15 min walk to the middle of south congress and less than 10 min from HEB grocery and CVS pharmacy. Everything was clean and I would return again. Thanks Lisa

    This was a great residence, the pictures do not do the place justice. Communication with Brooke was timely and appropriate. The neighborhood is quite and nice, a short drive to S.Congress, or a slightly vigorous bike ride(a few hills). The place was well stocked, clean linens, towels, etc. I cooked a few meals and for the most part there was everything I needed to make it happen, less the grocery store items. There is a decent HEB just a couple miles away. I will definitely be back on my next trip to ATX.

    The place is great. The location is awesome -- 1 block from 35, 1 exit from 71, and just down the street from S. Congress and a lot of great restaurants. House is clean and has plenty of room. Brooke was really accommodating. We will be back.

    So glad we chose to stay here instead of going the hotel route. I looked into a lot of rental properties similar to this one, and she definitely gave us the best deal right from the beginning. The "house" was clean, stocked, and very cute! The neighborhood will make you envious as well. haha And don't be afraid to ask questions or make special requests. Owner was very accomodating! Thanks again!

    Owner response: Thanks Erica! So nice to have you guys. Come again any time!

    We stayed at Brooke's place for a week while working downtown, and had a great time. It's very quiet and private, and decorated well to make it a classy, comfortable apartment. It was super clean and had a well-appointed kitchen with plenty of supplies. The wii-fi and Cable/DVR worked well, and we loved walking to Stacey Pool for a quick dip. We thought we would bike more, but we ended up driving (South Congress was about 3/4 of a mile away) but the surrounding neighborhood is very cute and safe. Brooke was around (she lives in the other side of the house) and available when we needed anything, but we never felt like we were bothering her. I'd definitely recommend this place - our friends staying closer to some of the party districts downtown paid a ton more!!

    This cute little cottage is ideally located for your stay in Austin. Close to everything you will want to see. Everything you need for a pleasant stay is in the cottage and Brooke was outstanding at responding to our questions/requests.

    I opted to stay here over a hotel because I brought my (100lb) dog with me. I was in town on business, office downtown. Took me about 15 min to get there (and back) WITH traffic, so it's close. If you're staying on vacay it would be maybe a 5min bike ride down to S. Congress. You could walk it though. Nice neighborhood but probably just a little far to walk. The private gate is perfect, you get an automatic opener once you check in. There's only one very small bathroom, but if you're alone or not planning to spend much time with others in the apartment, you'll be fine. Very clean. Accessed wi-fi w no problem. The TV had a message about how to access cable, but I couldn't figure it out. I just streamed from my laptop, so didn't matter much to me. Might want to check w mgt if you need access to cable TV. Payment process was easy- had deposit back w/in 72hrs of check out. I'm sure it would have been sooner had I checked out any other day but Friday (weekend). I intend to stay at this property the next time I'm in town on business. *Oh, and there were dog buscuits waiting on the counter for my dog when I arrived.

    We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. It was very clean, spacious, quiet, and full of amenities! While we only had a short stay in the cottage, I would also recommend this to anyone looking for a long stay in Austin. The kitchen was stocked with all sorts of utensils. The Bathroom had plenty of towels and cleaning products. It's truly a home away from home. The neighborhood itself is very charming and centrally located near many of the exciting aspects of Austin. We'll definitely come again!

    Loved this bungalow! Stayed here for several months and this place really felt like home. Quiet, clean extremely well located... Walking distance to great restaurants on South Congress, lovely park and pool right up the street. It had everything I was looking for. The owner was incredibly helpful and always available if I needed anything. Could not have been a better experience and I look forward to coming back to Austin and staying here again.
