Great hosts and location, loved the room amenities
This place is not only very clean and comfortable, in a central location, and adorable, but the hosts have gone above and beyond to provide everything you need for your stay. We had excellent communication with the hosts and found the place to be just as advertised.
Best VRBO stay ever. Room was beautiful and Barbara thought of everything to make it comfortable. Thoughtful touches with coffee, snacks, beer and wine. She was very responsive to any questions and the location is perfect for walking and exploring the SOCO area. Can’t wait to return!
Super cutely furnished guest home was perfectly located for my needs on this trip. It’s super close to congress and tons of great restaurants, it was walking distance to most of what I wanted to check out. Barbra was quick to respond and answer any questions I had and seemed kind when I meet her briefly.
This clean well decorated suite is perfect for a couples getaway! It is in a great location, the owner is super nice and truly cares about her guests. Great value for your money!
We enjoyed being a short walk from the house to get to great food and shops on South Congress. The room was well equipped and even came with beer and wine!
We had a perfect stay. The room has warm and cosy atmosphere. It has its own entrance. It was large, super clean, with a cool bathroom, comfortable bed, coffee and other amenities… way beyond our needs. The location is indeed unbeatable. Very quiet but close to many restaurants, bars, and trendy shops. Hosts wrote down a useful list of recommended places nearby. The "Car pass" for the resident-only street parking was a real advantage, we could park anytime in front of the house. Austin is a great city, South congress is for sure one of its best part.
Lovely accommodations, well thought out arrangement for a small space. Had everything we needed and a few unexpected treats. Hosts were quick to respond to questions and provided helpful insight to enjoying local attractions. Perfect stay for the couple that wants to stay close to the action yet have a quiet retreat to return to.

Great Stay!!
Location, location, location!! Wonderful hosts, very comfortable, top-knotch shower and very generous treats.....could not have worked out better.
Lovely place. Great location. Very hospitable hosts. When our flight back home was cancelled and we had to stay another day and night we were offered free accommodation.
Prime location close to S. Congress Ave. Well appointed room with deluxe bathroom. Room has mini-fridge, microwave & hot plate. Complimentary bottles of red & white wine, sparkling water, couple beers, dishes of candy & mixed nuts were very nice. Plenty of towels, wash cloths, glassware, paper products & toiletries. Wonderful lodging experience.
We loved exploring all the fantastic shops and restaurants along South Congress. Meanwhile the capitol, museums and nightclubs were just a short drive away. So much fun!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. All our accommodations were exceeded and it was a great weekend. Thank you so much!
I had a wonderful stay here while visiting my daughter. The location of the unit is close to great restaurants and shopping. The unit itself was comfortable, very cute and had every amenity you could want. Extra touches like wine and mixed nuts, as well as travel size toiletries made it extra comfortable and homey. I would love to stay here again in the future.

Perfect Get Away!
Walking distance to shops, restaurants and bars. Hosts are the most thoughtful and enthusiastic hosts to make your stay perfect. We celebrated our 29th anniversary and had the Time of Our Lives.
This is probably the best VRBO we have stayed in and we are frequent users. Basically one room, but so much to offer. Hostess has almost anything you might need plus extras. She was readily available for any questions or concerns. The deck was great. Great location. Will book again if we return to Austin.
We have stayed at a lot of great VRBO’s but this one was exceptional. Roomy, comfortable, clean, great amenities, and lots of extras that made you feel like you were staying with friends or family. Owner was super nice and accomodating. Location was great. Literally steps from S Congress. Perfect!
The property was very clean and comfortable. It was full of light in the daytime and very quiet at night, even though it's just one block from very lively South Congress Avenue. There are lots of places to eat, drink and shop in the area, all in walking distance. The hosts were very discreet and provided excellent instructions in advance of our stay. All in all, it was a great getaway!
Charming home close to everything but very quiet and peaceful - sitting on the porch in the morning among the trees was wonderful. The location in SoCo is ideal. Parking pass was key. Very thoughtful hosts provided great amenities. Hope to stay again when visiting my daughter at UT. Highly recommend!
