This place is excellent and I will stay there again!!
Everything went great and the property was outstanding…maybe add a hair-dryer and an ironing board & some hangers, but everything else is there.Great stay!!
We absolutely loved our time in this little guest house! The neighborhood is wonderful, quiet, with down-the-street access to an amazing trail system and parks for kids. The house is relatively new, great appliances, space, and even a private little yard. And just a few min from lots of restaurants, groceries, and freeway access.
This is a very beautiful new home. It's a guest house but is amazing. New furniture and appliances. Home owner is very easy to contact and allows guest use of the backyard while there. Home is also in a really nice neighborhood. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.
The home is located in one of the prettiest parts of the Great Hills neighborhood, and just a few minutes from the Domain area where we needed to be! Host was very responsive and made check out and check in a very quick and easy experience. They don’t charge ridiculous cleaning fees like some properties do. Thank you Mark! Your property is wonderful. We will be staying there again.
Quick Austin visit focusing on The Domain area. This rental unit was perfectly located! Love the quiet quaint neighborhood. Easy to navigate and away from noise and traffic.
Perfectly sized unit for my small family: myself, spouse, toddler. Great amenities and comfy sleeping and lounging arrangements. Fast replies from any customer service question.
Recommended! Will stay again!
Celebrated my 40th birthday with some friends and we enjoyed the awesome food scene of Austin and it was great to come back to a modernized and contemporary place vs a hotel room. Loved the amenities and especially the shower. As a construction guy I appreciate the detail that went into making this place modern looking and still having an “at home” vibe. Definitely would recommend! Check-in process was easy and the manager communicated clearly the whole way so there were literally no questions when we arrived. Great experience!
It was a holiday so of course the airline changed our flights & we were coming in several hours earlier than expected. I let the host know & he immediately responded & said it was no problem we could come straight to the place even though it was quite a few hours before check-in. We walked in the door and it looked just like the pictures. It was so adorable and so clean. The neighborhood is quiet & beautiful. There were plenty of extra towels/bedding/pillows.
It was not as close to my daughter’s apartment as I would have preferred but hopefully we will be able to stay here on our next visit anyway. Thank you for making our holiday trip even better with a perfect place to call home for a few days. Happy Holidays!
Host Mark was very accommodating. Guest home clean and updated. You have your privacy. Close to restaurants and shops. We would highly recommend. Thanks Mark for everything.
We really enjoyed our stay at this little bungalow. The place and location were quiet and family and pet friendly. The owner was quick to respond to our technical issues. We would recommend this rental to others.
