Cozy and comfy home with great location.

The house and furniture was old but the kitchen was super well equipped. We had everything we needed for a small family reunion on a long layover at the airport on an international trip. The two beds are very comfortable and the hide a beds are ok too!! We enjoyed our stay and Katherine is a responsive and wonderful host.

Little gem!

I recently traveled to Austin to help a family member find an apartment and booked this house for our stay and what a gem! The location of the house was in a very cute neighborhood within short distance of everything we needed. The kitchen was clean with a large island and stocked with everything we needed. The bedrooms are very good size and the beds are comfortable. I also loved that it was easily accessible to MoPac with a bonus of not hearing a lot of traffic sound. Our hostess, Katherine, was very accommodating and checked with us to make sure we had everything we needed. If you need a quiet, comfortable and convenient place to stay, this place will be perfect.

Not downtown

The host was lovely, communicative, and helpful. I feel the title of the listing is misleading as it is nowhere near downtown. It's about a 25-30 minute bike ride, not walkable, and 15 min uber. I probably should have looked into it more closely before booking but I went by the title being "downtown oasis." Would definitely rent again if I was exploring greater Austin, but not for SXSW, just too far and there aren't a lot of cafes or grocery stores within walking distance.It was clean, beds were comfy, and kitchen was well-equipped but the floors could have been cleaner (white socks looking grey on the bottoms). I felt there was a lot of "chores" to do before check out.Wasn't the worst but not exactly what I had expected.

We love staying here (also because it’s so close to our old neighborhood). Great for walking, and Kerbey Lane is right nearby! The setup works great for us with the office space right next to the master bedroom. Love the big kitchen island and all the natural light. It’s true what some folks have said about the street parking - it can make things tricky with exiting the driveway - but that’s just life in a small cute neighborhood. Amazing shower/water pressure.

I give this home an 11/10. Close to everything, comfortable beds, quiet neighborhood, beautifully furnished and decorated. The pictures do not do this place justice! Owner is very kind and helpful. We stayed 3 nights and will be back! The media room off the master has a sofa and tv plus a desk, which I used to work remotely for 3 days. Kitchen is large and well stocked. Even the couches are super comfortable. Both bedrooms are large. Backyard was great with 2 seating areas. Off street parking in the shade. Laundry room in the home. Large pantry for groceries if you’re staying for a while. Bathroom is spacious and towels were plush. I cannot think of a single thing this home was missing. Highly recommend.

Ideal location for our work group - close to our headquarters, downtown, shopping, and freeway

The house was great for our stay. It was roomy and well-stocked. Katherine keeps the inside quite clean. My only "less than five" stars were given because the cover picture is not of the outside of the home. The backyard needs maintenance so we didn't go out there. That didn't affect our stay, though. We will definitely stay there again - it was quiet, clean, comfortable, and super convenient. I highly recommend!
