Dear Brandon, Thanks for staying with us! It’s great to hear that the location worked well for you and that you had a smooth experience. Hope to see you again soon!
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.. !!!
I booked this rental for myself and for my twin teens and their friend to visit UT Austin and other colleges in the area. The unit is the second story of a very cool historic home. There was plenty of room to spread out with a spacious living room, separate dining room and two large bedrooms. The A/C was nice and cold, especially with the summer heat and humidity. We enjoyed walking to Kerbey Lane Cafe, Einstein’s and the University Co-op. It was super convenient and easy to get downtown. Thank you to our host who was very quick to respond to questions. Next time we go to Austin, we will try and stay there again.
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.
Very pet friendly and a great place to stay! The property was clean, and the host was great. The only thing to keep in mind is that there’s only one parking pass included. If you have more than one vehicle, you’ll need to purchase an additional parking pass, so plan ahead. Overall, we had a great stay.
Perfect location for our family. We had a great time. We will definitely book again in the future.

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.
We're proud Austinites with a passion for sharing the heart of our city from its legendary music and vibrant food scene to its rich history. Hosting is our way of celebrating everything that makes Austin unforgettable. We’re experienced local hosts, managing well-maintained homes across the city with quick, reliable support whenever needed.
