Great stay close by for the Festival!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was a great location for the festival and walking distance to restaurants, coffee and shops. Plenty of materials to cook and clean. The furniture and appliances were all good quality. It would have been nice to have a parking spot on the property so we didn’t have to park in the street.

Sweet bungalow

This was exactly what we needed! The house was adorable and the location was so fantastic I turned the rental car in early. Everything worked perfectly, the house was clean, the washer and dryer are shiny and new. Can’t wait to stay here again and to see what y’all do with that massive yard! Will def book this spot next time I’m in my beloved hometown. I miss it so.

Great for mid-week stay close to downtown

We loved the house, the neighborhood and proximity of great restaurants. It felt safe, there were good playgrounds nearby for our kids and they loved throwing rocks in the creek. The house was big enough for our family of 4 + a dog, especially given the added workspace downstairs. Parking is on the street and across the street, but only a minor inconvenience.

Great location for an Austin visit

The location is great! Very walkable to many shops and restaurants on S.1st and S. Congress. Overall the house was nice and comfortable. Very clean and well-equipped. There were a couple small maintenance issues that could have been addressed but nothing major. Off street parking would have been nice also but we knew it was not included before booking. Again - very cute and comfy house in a great location!

We enjoyed our stay

The home is comfortable. The kitchen is updated nicely, they have a wonderful updated bathroom on the first floor. They provide excellent laundry facilities in the basement which is where the second bathroom is located. The living room seating is very tired and the parking is across the sometime very busy street. We encountered rain during our stay and there was temporary construction in the street so I would say that the parking was the only downside to the rental.

Great location!

This safe, quiet residential location can't be beat for easy strolling to cafes, restaurants, shops and music venues. The dog-friendly nature is also a big plus. We felt the place was lacking some basic amenities when we checked in, including coat hangers, facial tissues, and coffee; management was beyond gracious in getting us everything we requested in short order. All that said, the space is a little shabby: the upholstery was stained, the carpets were dirty, there was mold on the shower curtain, and the walls and baseboards could use a good scrubbing with Ajax and maybe some repainting. We shared that with the management company and they seemed very responsive; I hope that by the time you visit, all those issues will be resolved!

Better than Advertised

The Creekside Bungalow was better than my wife and I had hoped. A blizzard delayed our trip to Austin and good friends delayed our check-in. We normally cook breakfast and sometimes lunch when we stay somewhere. We would have really appreciated the selection of spices, utensils and array of pots and pans, had we done any cooking. We were within walking distance of so many great cafes and restaurants that we forgot to do so! The on-site washer and dryer were a godsend and the heaters came in handy as we stayed during the rare Texas ice storm. We rented a car but might not do so our next as it was so convenient and easy to walk everywhere! And we will have a next visit because this place is adorable and the SOCO bridge is within walking distance. You know, the bridge where the hundreds of thousand bats fly out from under, when there isn't an ice storm. We found OUR place in Austin and cannot wait to visit an amazing American city and our freinds again.

Nice Location, Dirty Rental

Unfortunately, the place was dirty upon arrival. I had to wipe all the counters and fridge and it was filthy. Baseboards in the entire house were super dirty as well as one of the walls in the bathroom. The sofa was also gross and and I couldn't sit on it; it is very worn and appears to be 20 years old. The rug below it is also not clean. There was even a HUGE cockroach in the bathroom - on my toiletries one day as well. (despite keeping the doors & windows shut at all times) Management had to come to remove it. The yard is just dirt so, this is mentioned in the writeup, but it doesn't look like there are any plans to improve it. The property management team for the property was fantastic, very responsive and helpful. The beds were comfortable and had clean sheets. Towels were clean as well. AC worked well. Check in & out was easy. Location is great. But, I would never rent this unit again or recommend it due to the cleanliness. I travel regularly and this was far below acceptable.
