Cutest little place close to downtown, the river and other attractions. Walking distance to the trail. Plenty of space for 2.

Thanks so much for the great review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the location and had plenty of space for your stay. Hope to host you again next time you’re in town!
We loved this stay! It has an old-home feel but is recently renovated and super cute. Perfect for 3-4 guests. Short drive from downtown area or a walk if you’re up for it!

The location was perfect - a short walk to Town Lake, close to downtown and great venues on the East Side. The house was clean and comfortable!

Thank you for your review! We're thrilled that our property met your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and hope to host you again in the future!
House is close to everything, didn’t like the house less people a block up but then after the first night didn’t think much about it. Cute BoHo cottage, Comfy beds. Free coffee. Instant hot water. Easy check in, I would have preferred a written out check out instructions because couldn’t get my phone to turn on to properly do what was asked so I emphasized. Great little place to stay in Austin.

Thank you for the kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the comfy beds, instant hot water, and convenient location. We appreciate the note about checkout instructions—we’ll make sure to provide a written version for future guests. Hope to host you again next time you're in Austin!
Pros: #1: The location is convenient, easy access to everywhere. Nice single parking spot, since street parking is often hard to find. #2: Washer & dryers definitely make our stay easy. #3: The customer care team is beyond wonderful! Thank you!!! We ran into a few of snags during our stay. They basically took care of everything as the moment I informed them.Cons: #1: The house is on a local street with very busy traffic, especially at night. Very loud! If you’re a light sleeper, it would be extremely hard to sleep in the 2nd bedroom. # 2: No vent hood over the stove. So you can’t really use the stove due to the cooking smells. The oven is old & weird. The thermometer is inside, which you need to physically check it to see if the desired the temperature is reached. #3: The screens aren’t really fit for the windows, which means you can’t open windows unless you want lots of insects in. Many misquotes! My 2 cents: #1: Please remove all rugs or change all rug pads. Otherwise, trip hazard! #2: Old house. Flooring is cracking when you walk on it. Hard for light sleepers at night. #3: the house needs a deep cleaning!
