Great location — easy walking distance to all the shopping, restaurants, and bars on South Congress. The place was clean and just as described. It didn’t have a lot of extra amenities, but it worked perfectly for our needs and was a convenient home base for our trip.

Thank you for choosing The Renteres Club. We're happy to hear you had a wonderful stay close to everything you could need. You were wonderful to host and we hope to welcome you back soon!
Awesome location! Easy walk to great restaurants on 1st and Congress, such a fun area to explore. Easy check-in and prompt answer from management when we called with a question. The property is a bit worn in spots, but very clean with plenty of linens/blankets, towels, and kitchen amenities. Sound readily carries from the common area into one of the bedrooms, but it's ok for a group on the same sleep schedule. Our family was very comfortable. We would definitely stay again!
We stayed here for a girl's college room mate reunion. Place was great, hiply furnished very clean with good linens too. Walkable to so many eateries and boutiques and about a mile to downtown and everything around Ladybird Lake. Great stay!

Thank you Sarah for choosing to stay with us during your stay for ACL. We love to hear everything worked out and location was conveniently located. We hope to see you again soon!
This home was very clean, attractive and in a safe, fun neighborhood. We were so close to great food and attractions. All of the beds were really comfortable, which is important when you're away from home. The owners were very responsive and helpful.
Wonderful home and property with room for everyone! Two big screens, lovely and private outdoor patio space, full sized kitchen, and short walk to South Congress and cool neighborhoods!

Thank you for your fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that you had a great time at our place and that everything was great for your stay. We appreciate your feedback regarding the cleaning and hope to welcome you back in the future.
The house was wonderful and the location was perfect. Walked to restaurants and shopping with ease. Including a photo of the outside because we had a little trouble deciding which house it was when we first arrived. House was exactly as described in the listing. Beds were comfortable and all was very clean. Tip: Go see someone at the Continental Club. We went on Saturday afternoon and really enjoyed it. Love the history.
I don’t know what it was about this house, but it felt like home. This was the second time using the Rental Club and they have been the best so far as far as stocking the house with the bare essentials. The location was great. We walked down to 1st street for coffee and some cool shops. Also walked to South Congress will absolutely look to stay here again.

Thank you for your detailed review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the home with plenty and amenities. We're glad that you found the location convenient with nearby attractions. We're pleased that you enjoyed your stay overall and look forward to hosting you again in the future! Thank you for choosing to stay with us.
This property is ideally located and very walkable. The beds and linens appeared new and were comfortable, and the kitchen is adequately stocked for a short stay. That said, while the house sleeps eight, there are only five dining chairs.The rental company assured us they will add more spoons (there were only six) and ensure the correct products are in the labeled containers. I’m still not entirely sure what I was conditioning my hair with for most of the stay.Our biggest issue was the heating, and because of that, I would not recommend staying here in cold weather. We were unable to heat the downstairs, while the upstairs became hot. We ended up sitting on the floor upstairs rather than using the living room. We were told someone would come to fix the issue, but we didn’t receive follow-up or see any improvement. Thankfully, two space heaters were provided, which at least allowed us to eat at the kitchen table comfortably.Overall, this is a great place in warmer months, but not a good choice for winter stays.
