Cute and clean place in a convenient location. Only suggestions - bed was a bit hot and there isn’t much air circulation in the primary bedroom. They provided a fan, but it kept tripping the gfi circuit, Otherwise, great experience.

This home was in a good location and the house was clean and nice for our overnight stay and needs. We had some issues with the front door code lock and the host was responsive to that and our other questions. It is a steep uphill climb to the house with bags if you park in the street, but the driveway does go up beside the house.

The check in process started out the stay very disappointing. Address to property was incorrect, followed by an electronic entry that didn’t work. The host and owner didn’t answer the phone for quite some time. Finally got a hold of one of the owners while chatting with VRBO. Had to use alternative key to get in after almost an hour. Once in the owner said a plumber needed to come by to fix a handle at 6:00pm. Very inconvenient around our quick one night stay. Location was semi close to South Congress but more than likely not the parts most would want to be on. Would hesitate to recommend based on our experience.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Mar, 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Due to an unexpected system glitch with the smart lock that day, the access code did not activate correctly, which unfortunately caused the delay you experienced. As soon as we became aware of the issue, we worked to provide an alternative access method so you could enter the property as quickly as possible. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and the time you had to wait. Regarding the plumbing visit, we always aim to keep maintenance interruptions to a minimum, but addressing the loose handle promptly was necessary to ensure everything remained in proper working order for our guests. We appreciate your comments about the location as well. The property is located a short drive from the South Congress area, and many guests enjoy its quieter residential setting while still being close to Austin’s main attractions. Your feedback is very important to us, and we are already reviewing our check-in procedures and communication response times to ensure a smoother experience for future guests. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

The property was decorated nicely and the kitchen was well-stocked. There were only a few cons: We found dirty towels hanging in one of the bathrooms. There was not enough comfortable seating for 6 adults in the living room area and one of the bedrooms was an uncomfortable cot style bed.The kitchen was well-stocked. The neighborhood was just okay with about a 10 -15 minute uber ride to where restaurants and bars are. It was not walkable like I had hoped.

Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the décor. I truly appreciate you mentioning the areas that could be improved. I’ll make sure the cleaning team is aware about the towels so it doesn’t happen again, and I’ll share your comments regarding the living room seating and the cot bed with the property owner. Your input helps us make the experience better for future guests. Thank you again for staying with us!

I’m a former longhorn and was excited to bring my family to a UT game to see my old stomping grounds. Unfortunately, the house was not as expected. I promised my kids they would have their own bed and when we got there I realized the so called sofa bed was not a sofa bed at all, but just a deep couch with no extra blanket to be found. My kids were pissed. The microwave also was broke although the owner had someone come to try to fix it which is how we found out it was just broken. There were no ceiling fans and omg I was sweating all weekend. They had a coffee machine with hardly any coffee and zero sugar or creamer. I don’t understand the point of a coffee machine if we’re expected to travel with the coffee. Great location, but that’s about it. We wouldn’t stay here again.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Oct, 2025
Hi Vanessa! Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m very sorry to hear the stay did not meet your expectations. We always want our guests to feel comfortable and taken care of. Regarding the sofa, we regret the confusion, it is listed as a couch and not a pull-out bed. When this was mentioned, we did offer an air mattress as an option and also provided a blanket. For the microwave, we sent someone right away when notified, but I understand how inconvenient that must have been during your stay. We also provide starter supplies such as coffee, sugar, and creamer, and I’ll be following up with our team to ensure this is consistent. If we had known earlier about anything missing, we would have happily sent over what you needed to make things more comfortable. While the property doesn’t have ceiling fans, we’ll certainly consider adding more cooling options for extra comfort. We truly appreciate your comments as they help us improve, and I regret that your experience fell short. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope you enjoyed your time at the game despite the issues.
