Swanky stay in Austin

Oh wow what a treat! The property was amazing. It has a swanky romantic vibe. The kitchen was a treat to cook in and the set up was comfortable and relaxing. The property owner Navid is so nice and very helpful making you feel welcome and giving suggestions on what to do in the area. 5 stars!!!

“Okay” Stay

The location and size of the house is accommodating. However, the house reeked of cigarettes [we are non-smokers], and you will not get 100% privacy. The two side windows and one back window do not have blinds, and there is a 2-in. gap between the blind and window frame in the front windows, so passersby’s can see you in the evenings.

UT Austin Graduate

Needed a place to stay for UT Law School graduation. The Glass House was a great location with easy access to campus, downtown and the very cool Hyde Park neighborhood in which it’s located. As noted, everything was spotless. Check in and check out were simple. No long list of duties prior to departure. The best thing about the house is the design that gives you the feel of a very spacious home. Everything was well done, Generous supply of towels, nice bedding, and gourmet cooking/dinning ware. Our only problem was initial communication with the property owner/manager. It’s nice to confirm your rental is “real” as we’ve had bad experiences in the past. But within 24 hrs of our check in the property owner reached out with all the information we needed. I attribute the miscommunication to the fact this property is primarily active on another STR platform and relatively new to VRBO. Regardless, we are looking forward to our next stay in the glass house.
