Week long stay

The condo was perfect! It was so clean and had a wonderful homey feel to it. The beds were so comfortable. You get a reserved parking spot that is a very quick walk to the condo. The pool area is nice and right outside of the condo. We were able to get in touch with Gary very easily and he was so friendly and helpful! He even checked in while we were there to make sure everything was good. The condo has so many extras to save you from packing those items including soap, shampoo and conditioner. If we ever went to Austin again I would definitely search for Gary’s listing first.

Nice apartment unit.

We spent 3 nights there. The apartment was clean and neat. It equipped with almost everything that you needed. Gary was very responsive. One drawback was the noises in early mornings. First morning was the noise from roofing repair team and other morning were from parents and kids. I think it was still worth the money.

Reno Respite

We stayed for three weeks due to home repairs. The location was very convenient and pleasant, and it was fun being a part of a vibrant community. Apartments are noisier than single family homes, but the neighbors stuck with designated quiet hours and were never a problem for us (we tried to be good neighbors also). The WiFi was good and my son was able to work from the included office area all three weeks. The kitchen and laundry were fine, and the beds were super comfy. The host was responsive and friendly.This apartment was a bright spot in a difficult situation.

Gary smoothed a rough entry

We arrived at check-in time (3pm) but the apartment wasn't ready due to housekeeping scheduling issues. Gary answered our call immediately. We did some sightseeing for a couple hours awaiting Gary's call. When we got in we couldn't access the wifi. Again, Gary was immediately available and fixed the problem. Other than that, we were very pleased with the apartment: everything is new and clean, beds are comfortable. It was a quiet apartment complex, even during Austin's SXSW week mid-March.

Perfect in every way

Gary’s ground floor apartment truly is perfect. It was immaculately clean and located close to a reserved parking space and the pool area. The bed was super comfortable with high end linens and generous amounts of towels and bath supplies. A full compliment of kitchen equipment was expertly organized and easy to find. The TVs and internet were easy to use with plenty of program options. We brought our dogs and they were totally happy with the private patio and dog park very nearby. This stay is the best we have ever had. We do hope to find it available when we return to Austin.

Awesome unit, location, and host!

Our family of 5 found ourselves in a weird predicament in that we needed to find somewhere to stay in the Cedar Park area 48 hours before our arrival. We came across this property online and by a stroke of luck, it was available. We figured with little research and availability we had to grab it and just accept what we got. Wow did we hit the jackpot! This property is immaculately maintained, had every single amenity imaginable (right down to the body washes/shampoos/soaps in the showers), was in a fantastic location for us in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, and even had a reserved front parking spot for us. The host, Gary, has thought of everything to make your stay as easy as possible. The internet was great, AC rocked, front door key-coded lock was wonderful, and even the little patio area was nice. Very, very clean, with a nice kitchen and dining area. Area around this complex has grocery stores and restaurants galore and everything in between. We will definitely be back when we find ourselves in this area again!
