This well equipped little house served us well with four adults. Communication with the owners was great! It's in a great neighborhood with places to walk to and only 10 mins to anything downtown. Had a great time and would stay again.
Adorable home. Comfortable bedrooms. Amazing location. Our host Zoe made sure we had what we needed. When we couldn't figure out how the light/fan combos worked in the bedrooms, she stuck with us late on a Sunday night to get things sorted and sent over a handyperson the next day to resolve one problem. Having a washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave and toaster available in the rental was a definite plus. (If you spend a lot of time in the bathroom, maybe look for an alternative. Apparently, the toilet plumbing is a mite delicate.) When we next need a rental in Austin, first, we'll check to see if this place is available.
Dear Taylor,
Thank you for choosing to stay with us! We’re always working to make each guest’s experience the best it can be and would love to hear any feedback you might like to share. Wishing you wonderful travels ahead!
