The property was clean affordable and was in a very nice area. The neighborhood was in a great walking peaceful area of Austin and had a wonderful scenic backyard. The property host was attentive to any of my requests and needs but not intrusive to our privacy.

Great Location

Nice house tucked away in quiet cul de sac. A few minute walk to Zilker Park and a few minute drive to downtown. House was clean and very comfortable for our family. Great view out the back window of the trees and the creek that borders the back of the property. The host were very attentive. We would definitely stay here again!

I am so glad we found this home. It's in an ideal location and perfectly situated on a quiet cul-de-sac. Very clean and well-appointed with a unique floorplan and lovely backyard view. Thanks Sally for the complimentary wine and recommending Bluebonnet Market...we were late arriving and they had everything we needed!

Great location

We enjoyed our stay. The views of the dry creek were great. The beds and pillows, etc. were quite comfortable. The kitchen is serviceable but really small and shabby. The cabinets and drawers didn’t fit and it just seemed like someone knocked them together in the driveway. We did enjoy it otherwise

Great home and location!

This home is very comfortable. It was well stocked with what we needed. We enjoyed the Edison lights on the patio and balcony for sitting outside at night. The back yard overlooks a nice area with a creek. The neighborhood is quiet and great for taking a walk. It’s also very easy to get to downtown and enjoy great restaurants. The host responded quickly when I sent messages and even messaged me to make sure we arrived. I will definitely stay here again when I’m in Austin!!

Peaceful location

We really enjoyed our time at this duplex. It was a very peaceful street, a fantastic neighborhood for walking in the mornings, and it was conveniently close to Barton Springs. We ended up walking to Barkin Springs (the swimming hole for dogs) every day, as our dog LOVED swimming there on the hot days.

Perfect Austin Experience

This was a perfect rental for a taste of eclectic Austin. Very cute and cozy with everything we needed. So close to Barton Springs pool for cooling off and people watching and to great eateries, coffee shops, and downtown. Just half an hour away from Lake Travis and 15 minutes from airport. Perfect in every way.
