This was the perfect place for our visit for the MotoGP races at Circuit of the Americas. 25 minute ride to the racetrack. Six of us stayed very comfortably and we would certainly stay here again. Short ride to Sixth Street and other tourist attractions. Love the sunken bath!

This house was in a fantastic location. There was plenty of room for our crew. The host, Kirk, was very responsive and had great communication from start to finish. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a place in Austin.

I loved your review.
Glad you picked my place. I’m happy you were happy.
Kirk
The host was very communicative and easy to work with, and the checkout process was smooth and hassle-free. The property is a bit dated, but that was expected given the price range and did not detract from the overall comfort of the stay.

I enjoyed having you as my guests! And thank you very much for the excellent review. It’s nice to be able to walk, I agree. We walked over for dinner last night to SoCo and to enjoy the end of SxSW.

Thank you very much for the kind words and the great review. And thank you for picking my place. I’m sitting outside now drinking coffee watching the birds and the squirrels run through the trees.
Enjoyed having you. Come back again!
The location and accommodations were PERFECT, and the owner Kirk was so helpful with the checkin process and with any issues we had. Was a great place to stay for our group of friends on a reunion trip to Austin. 10/10 would stay again!

Thank you for the great review.
I figure Austin, especially near downtown, is rather funky as well, so I have a sunken bathtub and I have a Wild West bathroom w wooden walls and clawfoot tub. Lots of bamboo and an oak tree growing thru the 2nd story deck.
Enjoy your next adventure & thanks for picking my spot!
Kirk
Had an amazing stay! Super close to down town - great area very safe and beautiful home! Would definitely book again!

Thank you very much for the wonderful review.
Yes, I love that you enjoyed my house so close to downtown. I walk it often. (except maybe in July in cowboy boots).
There are also abundant entertaining spots to the east and west.
And I’m so glad you liked my house. Have a wonderful holiday season.
