Great location and super friendly host
Kirks house is spacious, perfect located, has a nice terrace, a big kitchen and two bathrooms. Even though the house is a bit old and simple, it is very charming and clean. We, a group of seven people, stayed there for one week during the SXSW. Enjoyed the house and the neighbourhood . Kirk is a super friendly host.

Excellent choice
Very good traditional South Austin house, within walk of South First facilities, SoCo area and downtown. Well equipped and comfortable. Austin is a very interesting and vibrant city, recommended a visit.

Great location. A bit musty
The place is a bit musty - one of my friends had issues with allergies. Location is fantastic. Owner was very communicative and responsive. As someone else mentioned, would not be good for anyone with mobility issues (spiral staircase, bathtubs that require large steps to get into).

Nice house
House is in a quiet area surrounded by bamboo. Kirk was a great host, accommodating a later checkout even tho he had new guests coming. The house is older but nice and clean and comfortable. Comfortable beds. Recommend staying here
