    Seasonal Landscaping: Texas heat, drought conditions, seasonal changes, and local water-use restrictions can affect the appearance of grass and landscaping, so outdoor areas may occasionally appear drier or less green than pictured.

The perfect spot for a visit to UT-Austin area

This place was literally perfect! Cozy, convenient and clean. I can't wait to stay here again next time we're in Austin. The location is perfect for all things UT and easy to get out and about in the city as well.

Fantastic location to see a UT football game. A welcoming host. Suggestion: since the door lock was mentioned several times, can the door lock be replaced to avoid an accidental lockout? Also, the shower head was dripping even after the hot and cold water were turned off.

Misrepresented, Unsafe, and Disappointing — Avoid This Property and Host

We booked this property for a weekend trip to attend a concert at the Moody Center. The listing advertised it as a “treehouse oasis,” which appealed to us. While the location was indeed walkable, the overall experience fell far short of expectations.Upon arrival, we discovered a large encampment extremely close to the property — within about 10 feet of the front door. The area showed signs of heavy foot traffic, graffiti, and an overwhelming odor. We also experienced consistent loud noise and shouting that disrupted our stay and made us feel unsafe. This was not mentioned in the listing, which made the discovery particularly unsettling.After contacting the host about our concerns, we were told we could check out early and would be refunded for the unused night as well as our deposit. Unfortunately, when we tried to make this change through the app and later reached out to customer service, the host reversed course and declined to honor the agreement.There were also issues with the check-in process and overall cleanliness:The check-in code was received very close to arrival time.The cleaning crew was still inside when we arrived, so we had to wait.The property had lingering holiday decorations, visible dust, and linens that were still damp.Towels and washcloths were mismatched and not what we expected from a professionally managed rental.While we understand that no property is perfect, this listing did not accurately reflect the conditions
Concessions: One bag of chips inside a plastic bag.
Encampment view: View from the deck of encampment.
Dusty White Noise Machine: Thick dust on surfaces showed poor upkeep and cleaning standards.
Leftover Christmas Decor: Outdated decor still up. Space felt neglected, not like the listing photos.
