Cute and cozy house!

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!

Perfect place for a weekend in Austin

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.

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!
