Great location and space has lot of character and charm. We were in town for Thanksgiving holiday and A&M vs. UT game 2025. The location was very close to campus and walkable to the game and tailgate prior.

Dear Sharon!!!! Thanks so much for the review! I’m truly happy that the house was a good fit for your Thanksgiving trip. The A&M vs. UT game was such a big milestone for the city this year—I’m so glad the location made it easy for you to walk to the stadium and enjoy the tailgates without dealing with the 2025 game-day traffic! It was a pleasure hosting your group, and I would definitely love to have you back next time you're in Austin.. !!!

Charming Victorian condo on the 2nd floor (stairs). Large spaces and king beds were the highlights. Located near campus. Communication with property management was timely and professional. Things to consider would be parking, as it is street parking.

Liked: Location
We ranked this property a 3 for a number of reasons. 1) We felt that the property wasn't well represented in the pictures. It appeared to be a very clean, bright unit with nice furniture. It turned out the unit was dark and had furniture that had seen better days. The couch in the living room was old and covered with a sheet. 2) Although the unit was generally clean, all the windows were filthy. It seemed like they hadn't been cleaned in years.3) It was advertised that there is free parking, which is true. It mentioned that there were spaces in front of the unit. There was one space in front of the unit and we were only able to access it once. When we first arrived, we had to carry our baggage a block and a half. We also never knew where we would find a space when returning in the evening. We always did but sometimes we had to park several blocks from the unit.
