Wonderful home base to explore Austin

We were very impressed when we checked in. The apartment is so bright and airy, even better than the photos show. Great location - quiet neighborhood, walking distance to many attractions. We were able to walk a few blocks to pick up a MetroBike and use the bike paths to get to many locations. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks to Mark and Jeannie for making our stay so pleasant, such wonderful hosts!

Great place! Great location!

This was a wonderful place to stay! Great location for easy walking to restaurants, grocery stores, shops, even a record store! The house is immaculate; it’s well supplied with towels, soap products, dishes, pots & pans, and even spices for the Thanksgiving dinner I cooked there; it is decorated nicely and has excellent appliances; and the view of the city skyline from the balcony is outstanding! I highly recommend this rental!

Perfect place in the perfect location!

If we could give 10 stars we would. The host and hostess were very gracious and the cottage was beyond our expectations on all counts. The view of the city was exceptional. (I’m a bit sad I can’t live here permanently!) Thanks Mark and Jeannie!

Great place, great location!

The cottage is really nice. All the furnishings are higher end with lots of space. Great bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and main room. Whole Foods is a close walk so you can cook in the great kitchen. Lots of great restaurants are within short walks as well. As a runner, I appreciated the close proximity to the creek trail down to the lake trail. The hosts were super nice too. I would move in to the place if they’d let me!

As described, as expected

The cottage was as described and as expected. Clean, quiet, and comfortable. The cleaning fee is somewhat excessive for 1 person staying a few nights.
