Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you found the home clean and a great fit for your Austin getaway. We’d love to host you again on your next trip!
Hosts were very responsive and fixed a couple little things right away. The location is wonderful and good restaurants are a short walk away. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean. However, the rest of the house could have been cleaner.

Thank you for your review and for staying with us. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the location, nearby restaurants, and found the beds comfortable and bathrooms clean.
We also appreciate you noting our responsiveness. Since your stay, we have reviewed the overall cleaning with our housekeeping team to ensure the entire home meets our standards throughout, not just specific areas.
Thank you again for your feedback. It helps us continue improving the experience for future guests, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again.
Check-in and check- out process was straightforward; communication with property management was timely, friendly and professional. If a cleaning crew is utilized to clean interior, they are doing a poor job. The lint collection screen in the dryer is a fire hazard, it has not been cleaned out, it seems for a long time; I did not use the dryer for fear it would cause a fire; tried to clean it out as much as I could, but was unable to reach in deep enough, invest in an inexpensive toilet seat in the master bathroom, the plastic seat is rough, overall cleanliness was lacking; the highlight of the stay was definitely the pool table, provided fun entertainment. It was a pleasant stay, great location to access everywhere we went.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Upon walking in everything looked clean but when we went to use the kitchen sink the drain smelled absolutely horrible. Every piece of furniture had stains on them. The master bed had crumbs all over the bed sheets like it wasn’t clean at all. The location was great but I wouldn’t recommend this place.
