Clean and Convenient Location

This was a clean place to stay for a few nights. It is walking distance to many east Austin spots. Rainey street is not too far away. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Austin Getaway

Great location, within walking distance to plenty of bars, restaurants, and convenience stores. Property was well kept and clean. Edwin and Mindy were extremely responsive and accommodating to ours needs. Would love to get a larger group together to stay again in the main house!.

The property itself was clean, nice, and secure. It is small but cozy. They made use of all the space. The neighborhood was questionable, which made walking not an option. I thought we would be next to a target; as I saw in the pics, this was not so. Overall, it was a decent stay.

Overall lovely.

The property is nestled connected to other rentals and our loft was behind the main house. Cutest shared courtyard and the location was great for all things East third. It is next to a scrap metal facility which caused some annoying sounds every morning between 7am and 8. The loft is up some stairs. The WiFi worked but was slow, furniture was a little beaten up & the ac worked okay at night but got a little hot during the day. For two friends it was great but any more than that it’s a little small. Things that were annoying but didn’t dampen our stay: battery for raising the main shade behind couch didn’t work causing a lack of light at times, no caffeinated coffee, the Roku Tv remote has this odd setting where when pressed once the cursor moves 2 places instead of one and this last one was just me not thinking but there isn’t an oven. There is a portable induction burner you can plug in but we purchased salmon bakes from HEB and returned to realize no oven, just non-convection microwave. Overall though we were very satisfied! Every morning we drank our coffee in the courtyard and loved life.

Great location, great little loft

I came in town for a conference. This was walking distance to the convention center as well as walking distance to many of the nightlife activities in Austin. The loft has everything labeled so meticulously, they’ve literally thought of everything. While it advertises sleeping 4. I think 4 people would be kind of crowded. It’s right next to the iron mill so during the day, it can get loud and shaky. Going out at night and coming back, I felt safe as the doors have lots of automatic lighting. I’d definitely stay here again!

Great location but sleeping arrangements do not suit 4 adults

This place is located very near to some amazing things but don’t be fooled if you want to actually sleep 4 adults. Two of the beds are a sofa and a flimsy trundle bed (which doesn’t really suit an adult larger than 150 lbs and we actually got charged for breaking…). The other bed (meant for two) is in a loft space with no space for anything else and that you need to climb a ladder to get up to. Aside from the sleeping arrangements the property is well maintained, has a nice communal outside space and close to a lot of cool things. Property manager is amazingly helpful and very communicative /involved. Overall had a good time but the charging for the bed (which definitely was not designed to be actually used) put a sour note on the experience.

Great location. Cozy space. Small hiccups. Would stay ahain!

Im only giving 4 stars because I want to provide honest feedback. We did have a couple small hiccups, such as a dirty dish, dirty comforter and dirty shower curtain, but Edwin and Mindy were fabulous with a response. They responded so quickly, apologized and immediately rectified the situation. We had a new shower curtain, new blankets and a freshly cleaned space in less than an hour! Small issues like this happen, that’s life! It’s how the situation is handled that matters, and they were amazing. We also had a small issue with the power tripping a breaker, but again, they responded immediately and fixed the issue within the hour. I highly recommend staying with Edwin and Mindy. Couple notes on the space. It’s cozy, so I would not recommend more than 2 ppl stay at one time. We had three and it was very close quarters. The loft is a cool feature but it does get pretty warm up there. Edwin and Mindy supply a fan, which made it much more livable. In addition, the AC worked great! The loft is a little precarious to climb up/down from, especially if you have to use the restroom at night. There’s no good way to get up/down without disturbing others in the space at night; However, to reiterate, the loft is very comfortable. I slept well on the mattress and was cool with the fan and AC. Overall, I would recommend this booking to solo travelers or couples, and I would definitely stay here again if I were traveling alone or with my wife.
