Great property, wonderful location. Walking distance to many great restaurants and shopping and bat bridge. Short ride to other Austin features. Never been to Austin before, but now I understand the importance of having a place with parking! One smaill suggestion, you could add a hairdryer.

Tough choosing a place to stay with all the different options out there. Found this place and decided to give it a shot. Was everything as described. Very clean, had everything we needed. Was able to walk to south congress and the lady bird lake very easily. We were able to check in early which was very nice as well. Was happy with our stay here.

We were in Austin for a week long conference. this property was conveniently located and we were able to walk downtown for our meetings. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The property owners were very engaged in communicating with us throughout our stay to make sure we were comfortable. The mattress is impeccable and we got caught up on some much needed rest. Thank you!

This is a cute property, well maintained and clean, and walking distance to South Congress. I couldn't be happier with my stay! Definitely roomy enough for 2, with separate spaces when needed. Wifi supported working here with no problems. Communication with management was clear. Would stay again! with my stay

This was a really comfy spot! The location was convenient to my convention downtown yet removed enough to feel peaceful. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was great. Easy check in and check out and I felt safe traveling as a woman by myself.
