My family and I were in Austin celebrating my daughter’s graduation. The house location was great…quiet residential neighborhood and minutes from the campus, and easy access to downtown. The house layout and amenities met our needs…open living/dining areas, private bedrooms, enjoyable back yard/patio, and new-ish appliances.I highly recommend staying at this property when planning your stay for any UT/Downtown Austin events.

What a great place! I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay again! The bed was luxurious and the place has so much charm!
Great place and location for moving our daughter into UT Austin. Very close to West Campus. Neighborhood is good and quiet. 3rd bedroom is in the backyard building with the putt putt - it’s nice too.
The place was great. We enjoyed our time there and hated to leave. Check in and check out were simple. House was clean and well-furnished. Great location in Austin close to UT and not too far from Lady Bird Lake. We would stay there again.

This is an incredible review! Thank you for trusting us with your stay! It means so much to hear you had a great experience. Wishing you all the best, and we hope to see you again soon David :)
We were in town for a double funeral. The house, location, and host were all wonderful. We were able to take a few afternoon breaks on the back patio to reflect and enjoy time with our family.
When we needed a couple more days we were able to extend our stay with little difficulty, but the host was very accommodating.
We would definitely look to stay here again, hopefully under more joyful circumstances.

Review
Check in was a nightmare. The keypad did not work. We stood on the porch communicating by text. We could not get anyone to call. Then they asked for a VIDEO of what we were doing. Once sent they texted back to say something was wrong and gave me access to a lockbox. That worked. The entire process took > 20 minutes in freezing cold weather. The house is old. There is no place to hang towels. There was only one wash cloth to use in the master bath. The drawers in the kitchen stick. The utensils are insufficient in quantify for 8 guests. There are only a few coffee cups. The couch and chairs were comfortable. The internet worked well. The TV is easy to control. Several California window shades don't stay open. The close and leave the LR dark. The yard is not well maintained. Grass is spotty. The driveway is in disrepair and needs to be replaced. Overall, the house is not as depicted in pictures. I rate it a three out of five overall. Disappointing given the nightly price.

I really appreciate the feedback John. We love our home and know it is in an older neighborhood. It is nice being in a home that you can tell many families have had great memories in. I appreciate the feedback regarding the utensils. Normally there are many. We were happy you got the keypad working. We just recently updated our security measures so I do apologize for the inconvenience. Appreciate the information. Safe travels!
